Tea was first grown in ancient China. The Dutch brought it to Europe in the 1600s. There is actually only one tea plant, but depending on the region in which it is grown, there can be thousands of variations. Black tea comes from fermented tea leaves, while green tea comes from freshly picked leaves, which have been steamed and dried. Move to it! Many people know the motions to this popular song. When you sing, 'Here is my handle,' put one hand on your hip to form a handle with your elbow. When you sing, 'Here is my spout,' put your other arm straight out to the side. And when you sing, 'Tip me over and pour me out!' bend to the side as far as you can. Make it! Invite over some friends and have your own tea party. Use this recipe: Iced Sun Tea large glass jar or pitcher 4 or 5 tea bags 1 to 2 quarts of cold water 1 lemon sugar Soak tea bags in a pitcher of water. Place pitcher in a sunny spot, like a windowsill. Let the sun 'brew' your tea for 2 to 3 hours. After it is done brewing, add a squeeze of lemon, sugar to taste, and ice! Serve with your favorite cookies or crackers. 1. All Around the Kitchen 2. All the Pretty Little Horses 3. America the Beautiful 4. The Bear Went Over the Mountain 5. Bingo 6.
