on ice
i've been really keeping an eye on my caffeine intake with baby. here are three icy drinks i've had in rotation all month.
my favorite cafe on the east side of los angeles got me hooked on art of tea's
. i love it hot in a tea latté during the winter and have been making big carafes of it iced all summer.
i can't get enough of grapefruit and mint. this was the same with my first pregnancy. i've been pulling out the blender, adding 8 oz of pink grapefruit juice, a few sprigs of mint, and a handful of ice. blend. done. so good!!
and finally, i'm a huge fan of aperitivos. the art of gathering with friends early to have some snacks, drink, and a conversation on a summer afternoon? so civilized. my version is a small bowl of really crispy potato chips, some green olives, and a
or
in a tumbler with an orange twist. pellegrino sells them in the cutest bottles that you can keep to display shells or pretty flowers after. you can usually find six packs in specialty liquor stores.
what are your favorites? i'd love to add more to my repertoire!
