Sweet Tea and Murder!

If you are coming to Cottonwood, Kentucky, you have to stop and have a sweet ice tea from Cowboy’s Catfish. Bartleby Fry not only makes the best fried fish ‘n’ chips this side of the Mississippi, he brews the sweetest ice tea that will have you craving it and send you back3/4 to get more!

He might get mad as a wet hen when he finds out that I gave the recipe, so I’m figuring y’all are going to keep it a secret. So here we go.

Ingredients:

Four large cold ice tea bags

One cup of water

¾ cup of sugar

Combine the water and sugar for a mixture and set aside.

Directions:

Bring three quarts of cold water to a boil. Remove it from the heat and emerge the entire four large cold ice tea bags. Let them steep for about five minutes.  Then you add that water and sugar mixture. Stir real good. Fill you up a mason jar full of ice cubes and pour the tea right over it. Enjoy with a lemon garnish or sprig of mint. I like mine plain, but we all got different tastes.

You especially want to make this homemade sweet tea while reading Fixin’ To Die. Y’all will be on the edge of your seat wondering who killed Owen Godbey and your mouth is going to go dry with anticipation. Plus it gives you a sweet, treat straight out of Cottonwood.

So you might'swell settle in because we'll be hanging out a few years longer. Tonya Kappes, my author friend who is bringing my story to life, just signed a seven book deal about my life! That means there will be TEN Kenni Lowry Mysteries coming your way!

Tonya is from a small town like Cottonwood and when Longmire was taken off the TV, Tonya was devastated. Then she played the what if in her head. What if there was a girl sheriff like Longmire? And the Kenni Lowry Mystery Series was born. Not only is LOWRY Tonya's maiden name, the small town sheriff feel fits her Kentucky life since there are more sheriff departments than police stations.
