Lov-e-ly Summer Infusions

I'm not gonna lie. I love iced tea in the summer and I am not opposed to drinking it caffeine free. Luzianne is the bestest. The problem is I like Sweet Tea, the Southern version, where you make a simple syrup first and then add the tea bags. I sometimes used Splenda instead of sugar. My hubby would come home, pour himself a big glass, take a sip, and then shoot me a nasty stink eye. He's not a fan of artificial sweeteners. Either way, sugar or Splenda, not so good for the new healthier, less processed version of myself anyway.



So I have started experimenting. I have found some lovely substitutes for the necessary ice cold summer beverage. I have been filling my tea jar with water and adding slices of lemon and mint or lemon and cucumber or lemon and cucumber and mint. When we got a coconut in our bountiful basket, I added a bit of the coconut water. I think Coconut water and lime might be tasty. It's been fun to experiment. Yummmmmm. So far all of the concoctions have been oh so refreshing and they make me feel all healthy and stuff. Yee-Ha!
