Summer, the heat, and you want to add ice to almost everything you eat or drink. If tea or coffee, then cold.
Make different lemonades and even on the evening of the weekend, when you plan to drink a glass of wine, mix it with ice. But to make things not so simple, in addition to ice drinks can be combined with various components. Make cocktails not only refreshing but also help to enjoy the summer season. We have collected several recipes for you to combine them for the mood during the summer:
Simple and dietary
These are good to do in the morning or take with you on the road. Take water, add a few slices of lemon, and put them in the fridge. This water will be the basis for the following simple drinks:
1. Mint and ginger. Chop these two ingredients and grind them together. Add ice to lemon water.
2. Mint and strawberries. Crush the mint immediately and add to the water with the lemon. Cut the strawberries into several pieces and add to the cocktail with ice.
Sweet fruit
3. Take carbonated water, put it in the refrigerator. Peel an apple and grate it. Put it in ice cube trays and put it in the freezer. Grind a glass of raspberries through a sieve, mix with a tablespoon of honey or sugar. Place in the microwave for 1-2 minutes and cool. When the raspberries have cooled, beat them with a mixer with mineral water, and then a little more with frozen apple puree.
4. Mix together a tablespoon of honey and a glass of strawberries, put in the microwave for a few minutes, puree, and leave to cool. Then add a few leaves of chopped basil to the strawberries. Pour the mixture into an ice cube tray and place it in the freezer.
Mix mineral water with 2-3 slices of lemon and place in the refrigerator. When the strawberry ice freezes – add it to the mineral water and beat a little with a mixer. You can also just chop it with a knife and throw the pieces in the water.
