It may be my half-Russian ancestry, but I crave hot tea in the summer! The rationale is that the warmth makes you perspire, which cools you down! Our local coffee house makes a wicked cranberry hibiscus tea with honey, which is so refreshing either hot or cold.
Thanks for the great post & linkup, & God bless,
Laurie

Well, the tea sounds wonderful Laurie, but where I live, the last thing I want to do is perspire – lol!

Hope you make some fabulous friends this weekend! Have a great week Dolly!
I’ve been visiting here and all these dates are long ago. Did I miss something?
My favorite summer beverage is sun tea. I love the process of sitting the large glass jar in the sun to slowly brew the tea. And then add lots of ice and a little lemon and sweetener and then you have the perfect glass of ice tea:)
Have a perfectly wonderful weekend!
My favorite drinks this summer would have to be either my homemade iced tea or mango-pineapple. 🙂 Thanks for hosting! Have a great weekend! Many blessings, Lisa

I don’t really drink any sweetened drinks. My go-to drink is unsweetened iced tea, any time of year.
Have a great weekend!

Mango Lemonade sounds fab!
While I am at the end of my computer time for the day, I will definitely be back to browse the recipes. Here in Louisiana is hot most of the year, I am a big fan of pop. But, living here in Louisiana I have learned to love refreshing glasses of lemon water, which also carries many healthy benefits.

I am now following you from a Friday blog hop. Please visit me at msqueenfashionista@gmail.com and do the same.
Ginger beer with a touch of bitter lemon cordial for me!
I have linked in to Claire Justine a post about some rhubarb and banana jam I just made. Have a super week.
I’m stopping by on the BSN blog hop, and I enjoyed checking out your blog. I just posted on my blog last week about one of my favorite summertime drinks: a root beer float. No secret recipe there, but we love ’em!
I’ll be back again. 🙂
