Sick of drinking water? Add your favorite herbal tea bags to a pitcher of cold water in the refrigerator and let it brew for about an hour so it’s ready whenever you are. In my house, it’s the go-to beverage all year long.
Everyone enjoys a cold drink on a hot summer’s day, whether to remain hydrated or just because it tastes good. However, when beverages come laden with sugar, either naturally occurring (as in 100% fruit juice) or added (like sports and fruit drinks, soda, teas, ades, and the like), our drinks become a source of extra calories that most of us don’t need.
And our bodies generally don’t want.
So I was all set to write a post about my favorite summertime beverage—which also happens to be sugar- and calorie-free—when I recalled I had already done so last year.

Hint: I made it every day while on vacation last week.
And everyone always loves it, kids included.
This is making me thirsty!!!!
Hi
What about cold drinks in warm middle east countries
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks

Any cold tea infusion (watch the caffeine if not using herbal) works, as does water. A slice of citrus (lemon/lime/citrus), fruit (berries), and/or herbs (mint) can also dress up water when you want something with a little extra flavor boost. But you can never go wrong with water. Cheers, PKN
