Can I Get A Refill?

It's HOT! The kind of heat that reminds me of my grandmother's plastic covered couches. The kind of heat that had the plastic sticking to your legs. That fresh out the shower and already sweating again heat (audible sigh). I am almost positive you'd be able to cook an egg on the side walk too.

Days like this it is imperative that you;

1. Keep the fan on.

2. Stay hydrated.

3. Try to wear as much cotton as possible.

4. Enjoy the beautiful weather.

Water is always a great option. Water with lemon, okay. Lemonade better. But Mint Lemonade, now we are talking! The cooling effects of the spearmint + refreshing flavor of freshly squeezed Lemonade is amazing. If you haven't tried it before, you need to.

Here's what you'll need:

- 1 2 Quart pitcher with cold water

(scale up or down as needed)

- 2 Fresh lemons or fresh lemon juice

- 1 Cup of xylitol or sugar to taste.

(If using sugar I suggest starting with warm/hot water to help it dissolve)

- Few sprigs of fresh spearmint (washed)

- Ice if you like.

Mix all ingredients to taste.

Pro tip: the longer you let it sit, the better it will taste. :)

Enjoy!

If you are feeling extra fancy, try adding a mix of fresh watermelon & pineapple juice too!
