Refreshing on a hot day…
After a couple of days of severe cold and sinus I am back to life today. I had been sipping hot water, hot herbal tea and hot soups for the past two days, it did make me feel better. However, today I wanted something cold that can refresh my throat and my body. I had a few ripe and juicy nectarines; I combined it with mint, lemon juice, water and made it into a refreshing drink.
Nectarines and peaches are the same species, hence you could use either of the them. In August, fruit isles at grocery stores are crowded with peaches and nectarines. The ripe ones are really sweet and juicy. You could make a lot of desserts with ripe peaches and nectarines. I am so looking forward to making tarts, hopefully over the weekend.
Flowers always put a smile on my face, even on a lousy day…
