Tasty Tuesday - A Fab Summer Drink!
This recipe is actually called a fat-flush drink; I'm not going to weigh in (pun intended) on the weight loss benefits of this particular drink. I will say that it's incredibly yummy on a hot, summer afternoon...and best enjoyed sitting on a deck and doing absolutely nothing. Other than maybe reading a book. So, without further ado: Fruity Water
Ingredients per 8 oz serving
Water
1 slice grapefruit
1 tangerine
½ cucumber, sliced
2 peppermint leaves
Ice – as much as you like
Directions
Wash grapefruit, tangerine cucumber and peppermint leaves. Slice cucumber, grapefruit and tangerine (or peel). Combine all ingredients (fruits, vegetables, 8 oz water, and ice) into a large pitcher.
Stir & Enjoy!
It's as simple as that. I love the fruity undertones of this drink, plus it's a way to get more water into your diet, especially when you feel overloaded with pain-water-boredom. Oh, and the longer it sits (although I never keep it more than 2 days) the better it tastes!

Wow, that looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteYUM...that looks delish! I'm not very creative when it comes to summertime drinks. I am a huge fan of water...which is probably why this recipe grabs my interest. I'm going to try it out. The only other thing I like to drink in the summer is sun tea...and I"m sure everyone already knows that recipe. lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Kristi!
sun tea...made my first batch yesterday, in fact! Today, too rainy so no sun tea. Except what is left in the fridge, lol.
ReplyDeleteI remember my friend's mom always made sun tea. She would have these big, glass containers sitting on their back porch filled with tea. I've never tried it but it sounds yummy.
ReplyDeleteIt's delish, Sharon! Try it and you'll never go back to brewed!!
