I enjoy drinking hot tea when the weather turns cold. One of my favorite flavored herbal teas is made with the spearmint I grow right here on the Homestead. Mint tea!

I like to serve healthier beverages. It’s important to drink water, but sometimes it get cat boring. What about a minty drink that’s sugar free. Is there any such thing?
Recently I was looking at my mint bed which is doing VERY well #thankyouverymuch. A little too well actually. It’s spreading in places I’d rather it not grow.
But while I was thinning the rambling mint runners, it smelled so dang good. I wondered if I could use it for a refreshingly-cold minty drink?

Hot Chai Tea is comforting on a chilly day. This chai tea mix is quick and easy to mix up. Store it in the pantry in a repurposed glass jar.

Don’t resort to the powdered stuff sold in packets. Homemade hot cocoa is delicious & only uses cocoa, sugar & milk – flavored with vanilla & a few miniature marshmallows floating on top. So easy! (and there’s a secret flavoring ingredient that intensifies the chocolate taste. shhhhh….)

A frozen watermelon daiquiri is cold, sweet refreshment on a hot summer’s day. Or leave out the rum for a watermelon smoothie that the whole family can enjoy!

Recently a smart friend shared her recipe for making what she called ‘Haymaker Punch’. She uses this healthy drink as her own homemade Gatorade during the summer. ‘
Her recipe used 4 simple ingredients: apple cider vinegar, filtered water, grated ginger and honey.
I’m a big fan of carbonated ginger drinks so I couldn’t wait to try it out!
