Day 7, afternoon, the location of the Sermon on the Mount, Tabgha, Bethsaida and Geshur, and Gergesa

The past two summers, as the weather has warmed, I've posted recipes for Iced Coffee (2017) and Cold Brew Coffee (2018).

I thought this year, it was time for iced tea.

Two preliminary comments:

1. I've tagged this post under "Coffee". Yes, I know. I hardly ever make posts about tea, and if I start doing so I'll create a new category and retag the post. For the time being, it's the closest category.

My sabbatical study project concerns a specific aspect of Trinitarian theology. (See my earlier post outlining what I planned to study).

Before reading books on this specific topic, I've been reading some more general works on the Trinity. My thinking is very rusty, and I need to enter the world of Trinitarian thought again at greater detail.

I've owned a number of Android phones over the years. Some have been relatively high-end, with good RAM and storage space for their day. Others have been budget models, that come with the bare minimum to get things done. They're slightly slow and laggy to use, you can't install everything on it, but they do the job.
