This summer’s best beverages will incorporate flavors that capture the essence of the sun and infuse the season’s most abundant ingredients
As the nation enjoys the warmer weather, everyone from fashionistas to foodies are choosing yellow as the “it” color for accent. This summer, incorporate yellow into your own daily routine: bring a little sunshine indoors with beverages traditionally enjoyed during the warmer months (like iced tea or lemonade), fill a vase with lemons for a quick centerpiece, or put SPLENDA No Calorie Sweetener packets in your sugar bowl.
This summer’s best beverages will incorporate flavors that capture the essence of the sun and infuse the season’s most abundant ingredients. Aficionados can look to celebrity mixologist and cookbook author Bruce Weinstein for a fresh twist on beverage classics.
His recipe for Chamomile-Pomegranate Tea gives traditional iced tea, a summertime BBQ favorite, a boost of pizzazz. Sweetened with SPLENDA No Calorie Sweetener, this crowd pleaser refreshes and quenches thirst, while decreasing sugar and calorie consumption.
