Quench Your Thirst.

Quench your thirst...with these two homemade Summer beverages! They are healthier drinks because they contain honey instead of high-fructose corn syrup and no artificial flavors/junk. Cheers!

 
Minty Mohito

2 ounces rum

10 fresh mint leaves

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon honey

1 1/4 cups sparkling/carbonated water (unsweetened)

Fresh lime slices and mint leaves, for garnish

Combine all ingredients in a bowl or drink shaker.  Stir well or shake to mix. Garnish with more mint and lime, if desired. Serves 2.

 
Just-like-Lipton Iced Tea

2 tablespoons honey

2 large slices of fresh lemon, chopped

3 cups boiling water

4-5 black tea bags (depending on preferred strength, orange pekoe is nice)

Boil 3 cups of water. Place in a heat-resistant jug or jar (at least 1 L in size) the lemon slices, honey, and tea bags. Pour the water into the jar/jug and let steep and cool for 1-2 hours. When cool, refrigerate. Serve with a lemon wedge, if desired. Serves 3-4.
