like others, i like to just add some ginger, lemon, mint or a couple of berries to flavour my water in summer. Or, what I’ve been having recently is grapefruit juice with sparkling water and ice (one fifth grapefruit and the rest water). its super refreshing!

Mmm, those sound like great drink ideas. We like crushed ice with juice on top; it’s so delicious!

I’ve been doing the ice coffee thing this year – the rest of the time it’s water.
I have some limes so will try that this week

When it’s hot I prefer cold water. And some ice tea every now and then. I often put water in the fridge and add some mint to it which makes it more tasty.

All good suggestions! I tend to like a little carbonation, so the club soda sounds like my way to go!

I am a water person most of the time unless I am having my beloved coffee BUT seeing that crystal light there, how about making that into ice cubes to throw in regular water.. could even mix flavors!

We drink iced green or herbal tea, when I have young kids visiting, they get a little honey added to the tea. In India they drink tea with lots of chopped fresh ginger and mint, it’s fabulous. I also like seltzer with limes and ice. After dinner my husband and I like an occasional decaf frappiccino – I use 3 spoons of decaf, 3 splendas, a little vanilla, some evaporated milk, lots of ice (10-15 smallish cubes) and some milk (real, almond or soy) and whirl in the blender. Makes two really big glasses. The kids used to like smoothies made similarly with some frozen fruit in place of some of the ice and undiluted frozen juice (orange or cranberry) as needed for flavor. I also like homemade very lightly sweetened lemon or lime-aid – I think sour drinks are fabulous, especially when it’s hot. And you can always make frozen pops from blended fruit, with juice and/or plain yogurt to taste. We also love frozen bananas (really 1/2 a banana seems like a serving – it’s much like sherbet.

I’m another one who mostly sticks to water, tea, and coffee. My favorite this summer, besides plain old ice water, is an iced green mint tea that is made at one of my favorite cafes. It is perfect as it, no sweetener needed.
