BLACK LIVES MATTER. I believe this to be an undeniable truth. BLACK LIVES MATTER. I, as a person raised within a sphere of privilege, misinformation, and willful descrimination, have to accept my complicitness in our country where people will hear those three words and feel the need to argue.

And you may want to adjust the spice ratio too. I pull my cloves and cinnamon out with a tablespoon, but I let them heap too, so I don’t know exacting amounts.   When you’re feeling like it’s not quite enough, adding whiskey* is a good plan too.   Ingredients 6 Quarts Water ( 24 Cups/1.5 Gallons) 1 Cup Sugar 1 Tbsp Whole Cloves 1 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon 12 Bags Black Tea (I use Lipton beca
