Refreshing summer beverage recipes! It is currently 94 degrees F in Seattle.
But! I have a refreshing summer beverage. Recipe: 2 limes, quartered Handful of fresh mint leaves 1/2 cucumber, sliced Sweetener (optional) Get a BIG jar or pitcher. Bruise the mint leaves a bit, either by scrunching them in your hands a few times or with a mortar/pestle/whatever. Drop them into the pitcher with the sliced cucumber. Squeeze the lime wedges into the pitcher, and then go ahead and toss those in as well. You can add some sugar or stevia at this point if you want, though I think it tastes better without sweetener. Fill the pitcher to the top with cold water (and ice, if you want). Consume at will. It tastes yummiest after several hours in the fridge. Add your recipes, please.

I been liking these right cold out of the fridge. Afternoon and In the middle of the night. They taste like grapefruit juice without the bitter. The only recipe I got is, drink it from the can right from the fridge. | |

1. Buy some frozen berries ( mixed berries, including blueberries, strawberries,raspberries, some cherries ) ...
2. Put them in a blender, blend for just a few seconds...( optional ) 3. Add apple juice ( diluted with 30 or 40 % water ).. 4. Add icecubes ( preferably made from apple juice or cherry juice ) 5. Put it all in a big pitcher or straight into big glasses....enjoy ! " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

I love an "Arnold Palmer" -- half iced tea, half lemonade. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I'm a little weirded out by the thought of cucumbers as beverage, but intrigued enough to try it. Thanks for the suggestion! | |

you can not really taste the cucumbers, you are just left with a very fresh taste. | |

I just did not know how to translate it to sound yummy, rice water does not sound yummy or tamarind. But they sure are refreshing! It's one of those you have to try it to believe it kinda things. | |
