We all know that we're supposed to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate, especially in hot weather. Here are some summery drinks that are keeping us all happy, not over-sugared and appropriate for the under-21 set.
Sun tea
Click here for our favorites from last summer. Tazo Passion what is used in the Passion Tea Lemonade. Except the home version costs about 50-cents for a quart. Which, leads to
Lychee Lemonade Arnold Palmer (see left)
Thank you to my dear Big Island-born friend for giving me fresh-frozen lychee juice so I didn't have to buy the ones I was ogling last week. And there is no added sugar because all the sweet comes from the lychee.

And for a no-sugar yet tasty and refreshing alternate, try Summer Water.
This is a great thirst quencher on hot days, or after exercise. It takes less 5 minutes of prep. Wash, slice and dump into the water.
Lastly, Pellegrino + a splash of your favorite juice. Half the sugar content of a full glass of juice plus the fizzy sensation of pop.
These variations on beverages have kept the teenagers away from the heavy drinking of pop and creamy-caffeinated sugar-bombs. So far, so good.
Cool Down. Drink Up.
