A potential heatwave (3 days of 90 oF + temperatures) started on Sunday. Himself had asked A ,the young man, who helped out with shoveling the driveway if he could take care of cutting up the large branch that fell on Friday and cutting down a small-ish tree
I went out to ask A if he wanted something cold to drink. I had water, Mountain Dew, and Pure Leaf Ice Tea. A asked for water and I had the ice tea.
What's your beverage of choice when the temperatures skyrocket?

Temperatures like these make me want frozen margaritas, sadly that's frowned upon at work!
ReplyDeleteBut something to look forward to after work
DeleteI'll have ice-cold water or lime cordial. Our heat wave lasted about three days - now my feet are like blocks of ice again.
ReplyDeleteI always leave a pair or two of my Winter socks out, just in case.
DeleteI like unsweetened ice tea, or even better, I've been hooked on these Bigelow fruit infusion teas lately. They're not really tea, but an herbal/dried fruit mixture. That bouquet of flowers (is it paper) are beautiful. Happy T day.
ReplyDeleteYes, paper bouquet called Sorbet Roses from Fresh Cut Paper. My little gift to me.
DeleteIt's mostly water with a bit of juice or homemade ice tea. I also started to drink cold brew teas again instead of hot tea for summer. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteI've cold brewed tea overnight.
DeleteWater is the BEST! 😉
ReplyDeleteIt needs flavoring like tea with lemon 😊
DeleteI've been enjoying the warmer weather here and my drink of choice is lemon iced tea or Appletiser, both served with lots of ice 😊. Happy T Day wishes! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeletep.s. are the flowers real in the background?
I like your tea choice. No, the flowers are paper, well, a heavyweight cardstock from Fresh Cut Paper.
DeleteI am German, what do you think is my drink? ;-)
ReplyDeleteWith orange then.
Cooled down here, summer is on vacation.
Happy T-Day anyways.
For Summer weather, Weißbier mit Orange or Zitrone?
DeleteI like fizzy water, though it’s very wasteful.
ReplyDeleteBut the bubbles are delightful
DeleteDefinitely Iced Tea... but a iced cold soda will do too :)
ReplyDeleteOne thing I loved about visiting Texas was the unsweetened iced tea with lemon.
DeleteI hate this heat and sticky humidity. My drink of choice is always coffee. I let it get cold before I drink it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your fabulous paper flowers, your tea, and A's water with us for T this Tuesday, dear CJ. Have fin on your trip.
We're in Day 2 of a heatwave. One more day and it will break for us. I hope you get some relief soon.
DeleteIce water with lemon and ice tea too.
ReplyDeleteThose paper flowers are beautiful.
I couldn't resist the paper flowers
DeleteBeautiful flowers!
ReplyDeleteI always have a large jar of plain water on my worktop. Every now and then I quickly drink a glass of that (un-chilled) water. The idea is to finish the jar in one day (one and a half litres). Our climate is very hot in summer (Southern Spain) and staying hydrated is a day-long job.
I love Pastis (has aniseed taste) with fizzy water, but it's very alcoholic. Now I found a Pastis cordial without alcohol and it tastes the same. Win-win situation!
Cold teas here are always sweetened and even when it says 'no sugar' they make it sweet with sweeteners. I don't like sweet drinks, so sometimes I make Moroccan mint tea and chill that.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
I love licorice so the Pastis cordial sounds delicious.
DeleteJust read your comment. The eggplant recipe is very easy. Yes, it's fried and you have to use molasses as honey has a totally different taste.
ReplyDeleteHere is a link to a simple recipe: https://nofrillskitchen.com/spanish-fried-eggplant/
Here in Andalucia it's a very popular tapa or starter.

Thank you for the recipe - CJ
DeleteFirst choice water.
ReplyDeleteSecond choice tea.
All the best Jan
