3 Easy Cooling Drink Recipes
It’s easy to spruce up your water. Here are some quick ways to create a cooling drink on a hot summer day.
Raspberry lime water
- 1 cup of fresh raspberries
- 1 lime cut into quarters
Cucumber mint water
- 2 inches worth of cucumber
- fresh mint
Watermelon water
- cubes of watermelon frozen
- squeeze of lemon
Raspberry lime water
In a large sealable jar, add 1 cup of fresh raspberries and 1 lime cut into quarters.
Pat down with a wooden spoon to get some of the juice out without smashing them to smithereens.
Put in about a cup of ice cubes then fill the jar with water.
Sweeten to your liking with maple syrup.
Keep in the fridge until you are ready for it (the flavors improve over time).
Cucumber mint water
Wash about 2 inches worth of cucumber then slice into 1 cm thick discs.
Wash a sprig of fresh mint, gently bruising it before placing it into a sealable jar with the cucumbers.
Cover with water and add ice (optional) – enjoy right away. If cucumber isn’t appealing to you try pineapple instead.
