I cringed when I got to my #18 cookbook. 
It's an old copy of a Women's Day Collector's Cookbook from 1973. The cover is missing and it's pretty beat up. But it came to me from my grandmother's things, so I keep it for sentimental reasons over anything else.
Today I am spending a bit of time without my splint, and things are looking up in that department, but I'm still not doing much with my left hand. So I thought I'd go out of the box and head for the section on beverages. Add in the ingredient orange, and I have found a recipe for Spiced Iced Tea that sounds intriguing. If I get another chance this week I will look for a recipe from this book that includes basil also, but I think the iced tea will be a tasty addition to my afternoons.
Spiced Iced Tea
1/2 cup sugar
Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon
Grated rind and juice of 1 orange
1" Cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
4 cups hot double-strength tea
Put all ingredients, except the last two, and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. bring to a boil and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Strain, add to tea and chill. When ready to serve, pour into tall ice-filled glasses. Makes 1 1/2 quarts..
