Long Island Ice Tea Recipe
Looking for a Long Island Ice Tea Recipe? I remember driving with my family to Long Island, New York during the summer to visit my aunt and uncle. We would get caught in the traffic going to the beaches out on the "Island". The kids would fight over who got to put the money into the toll booth. The ride was long especially in a car that was not air-conditioned. The adults would have Long Island Ice Tea once we go to the aunt's house but not the kids. Of course, I later found out that it was an alcoholic beverage (please drink responsibly). Some people do add tea instead of cola to their Long Island Iced Tea recipe. Tidbits About Long Island 1. Did you know that Long Island is the fourth largest island of the United States? 2. Long Island is close to New York City. When the railroad came to town in 1844 it opened up New York City to Long Island and its fishing and farming industries. 3. Today the Long Island Rail Road carries passengers to and from Long Island and New York City for commuting to work or school. Others use it for recreations and cultural events in NYC. Actually, what makes many commuters happy (besides getting a seat on the train) is getting a parking permit. Yes, this piece of paper to allow them to park their car at the railroad station. Depending on what town you live in the wait can be months to years. It is a prized possession if you need to commute daily to New York City. There may be access to daily parking spots at the station but get there early. After all this you may need a good Long Island ice tea recipe! 3. Southampton is the location of where the novel "The Great Gatsby" took place. 4. Levittown, Long Island was one of the first communities of what we would call planned suburban communities.
