Cheers to Summer! 3 Yummy Drinks to Enjoy this Summer

The summer heat has arrived making hydration a major concern for Texans. For some, drinking plain water gets a bit dull, so we have curated a few recipes that can boost hydration, with minimal sugar, to making quenching your thirst a bit more interesting.

Iced Green Tea

Green tea has grown in popularity for its health benefits. The drink is said to improve skin appearance, support weight loss, and even reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Oh and one more major perk, boosts hydration! For the summer months, consider brewing green tea and serving over ice. For the best results,  allow the tea to cool down to room temperature before adding ice. If you want to make your drink even more tasty, try grating in fresh ginger or stirring in a tablespoon of honey.

Blackberry-Lemon Infused Water

If you prefer a zesty, fruity blend, try adding fresh lemon, balanced by blackberries. Approximately half a lemon will suffice for the average pitcher of water. Then, add the blackberries, but consider mushing them slightly to release more flavor. Allow the drink to chill for two hours before serving.
