My new favorite hot weather drink

[WoodlandWoman]

I just started drinking iced coffee last year and I love it! It's pretty rich, though, with all the milk I put in it, so I don't drink a lot of it. I love it made with organic Mexican coffee beans, from that region where the beans have a hint of chocolate flavor. I don't like a heavy roast, either. I'm going out to the kitchen as soon as I get done typing this!!!

My most favorite, though, is iced spearmint tea. I just brew spearmint tea and chill it. That has been my favorite for most of my life. It is so refreshing! And very light.

I also drink more iced water when it's hot. Sometimes with a splash of real juice in it, but most often plain. When it's not hot out, I just drink water at the cool temperature that it comes out of the tap. We have really good tasting water here. I always taste the water before I buy or move into a house.

That's THE best drink ever in the summer! So refreshing and light. Actually, I believe I will go make that now.

Every once in a while, I like to make a spiked lemonade. Follow directions for a quart of lemonade, but substitute 1/4 of the water for vodka.

Substitute *1/4* of the water with vodka! Wow! I usually drink pretty big glasses of lemonade! I might have to alter that recipe a bit for myself. Heck of an idea, though.
