The Best Beat-the-heat Recipes
Turn down the A/C and crank up the blender! This is the time of year for smoothies, fruit-infused ice water, sorbets, sangria, and more! When everything under the sun feels like everything directly under the sun, you want food and beverages that make you say, “aaaaaaahhhhhhhh.”
When it comes to summertime recipes, the name of the game is creativity. Strawberry-banana smoothies are delicious, but even a treat that tasty can get ho-hum. Since this is the time of year when water is paramount, infused flat and sparkling water makes the mundane magnificent. Both herbs and fruit can add a refreshing twist to your hydration routine. Some fun combinations to try:
- Strawberry/mint
- Strawberry/basil/lemon
- Cucumber/lemon/mint
- Raspberry/mango/ginger
- Raspberry/grapefruit/mint
Looking for a beverage that’s a little more grown-up? Sangria and icy cocktails more than fit the bill…
