Being how this is the hottest summer I can remember -- guess it balances out the coldest winter we had here in the deep deep south -- I'm thinking of delicious ways to keep from melting. Today's culinary offering should do the trick! Enjoy.
What's your favorite summer cool down item?
Berry Cool Lemonade
2 cups fresh blackberries (thawed frozen works well too)
1 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup Splenda (granulated) OR comparable amount of honey!
4 cups cold water
Enough crushed ice for 6 glasses
Fresh mint sprigs, blackberries or lemon slices for garnish
Combine blackberries, lemon juice, and Splenda or honey in a blender. Blend til smooth, scraping sides of container. Use a sieve to press down solids into a pitcher. Stir in water and mix well. Pour over ice in glasses. Garnish. Ahhh!

You're making me thirsty over here:))
We boil up teabags and make some green tea every week--that's about the extent of our refreshing summer drink:)
YUM. That sounds MARVELOUS!
My favorite has always been a big slice of ice-cold watermelon!
Sounds Yummy, It's hot over here in Gulfport too!
I make lemonade then I add citrus vodka too it, an wallaa I am cooler so is my attitude too!
Yummo, she says as she wipes her sweaty forehead, and tries not to notice the smell under her arms...teehee.... Sounds great! I love ice tea with fresh mint, too.
Y'all are making me drool...or maybe it's the coffee + honey I'm drinking to counteract the heat. :)
Sounds like a great summer drink! My favorite is a large Pina Colada Daiquiri! :) Cheers, sha!
