Hot Weather Thirst Quenchers
It is July. It is hot, dry or humid, and everyone needs a thirst quencher. A great tip to remember before you head outside is to drink fluids often, before you are already thirsty. If you are looking for some hot weather quenchers, perfect for picnic or backyard try some one of these ideas:
- To add mild citrus flavor to ice water, drop in slices of lemon, lime or orange.
- Try adding fruit filled ice cubes to pitchers of water.
- Combine a six ounce can of grapefruit juice or cranberry-mango cocktail concentrate with two 12 ounce bottles of chilled club soda.
- In a blender, puree berries, sliced kiwi, mango or pineapples chunks, fruit yogurt or ice cream with frozen limeade concentrate for a delicious fruit smoothie.
Create a shake by pureeing melon chunks or peach slices with chilled milk or buttermilk, crushed ice and a touch of ginger or cinnamon until smooth.
