i recently gave up Coke and i don't really like plain water.....so i'm looking for some refreshing summer drinks.
here's one i found at MS for lavender lemonade...
Serves 4
* 4 lemons
* 1/2 cup dried lavender
* 1/2 cup raw honey
Directions
1. Using a vegetable peeler, remove zest from two lemons, leaving white pith behind. Squeeze all of the lemons for 2/3 cup juice and set aside. In a large pot bring 5 1/2 cups of water and zest to a boil over high heat. Stir in the lavender. Partially cover the pot, lower the heat, and simmer for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, place a large strainer lined with cheesecloth or a damp paper towel over another pot or heat-proof bowl. Strain tea, pressing on herbs to extract all liquid. Stir in honey until dissolved. Stir in lemon juice. Let cool completely, about 45 minutes. Fill four tall glasses with ice. Pour tea over ice and serve immediately.
what are your faves drinks to sip during the summertime???

I love peppermint iced tea! So refreshing! I don't make it myself tho - I get it at the local coffee places.

Its not a drink but you can freeze frozen seedless grapes and use them as iceblocks in your drink (or just eat - they are like little frozen sorbets - so healthy and refreshing)

I love making sun tea in the summer. Can't live without my Diet Pepsi though! I do love water, and drink a ton of it. The flavored sparkly water is nice too if you want something sweet.

I love sweet tea and lemonade, or an Arnold Palmer which is 1/2 tea, 1/2 lemonade! That is always a great drink!!! I am not really great with flavored teas, they never taste right to me! :)

I live on Crystal Light...I don't like water and I never crave to drink...I have to force myself into drinking, so giving flavor to the water helps.....

That sounds so nice.
I like to drink lime and lemonade on a hot day.

horchata (pronounced "Or-CHA-ta)... it's a dairy free rice/almond milk that sweetened with cinnamon and nutmeg and served on ice. YUM.
But on a normal day I drink club soda and lime if I need a healthy summer drink.

I detest water so those little mixers for bottled water and Arizona Pomegranate Green Tea are what I drink.

Lipton White Tea with raspberries. LOVE.
But 2nd place totally goes to the Oreo milkshake I made yesterday that used an ENTIRE row of oreos. That was some serious goodness.
