My counter hit 10,000 visits! Seems like a reason to
celebrate to me. So here is what I have in mind. Each day- for five days-
Monday through Friday -I am going to do a post on how I’m beating the heat.
Leave a comment sharing something you do to Beat the Heat and I’ll enter you in
a drawing to win the pattern of your choice- which I will purchase through the
gift button on Ravelry. Leave a comment everyday and that’s FIVE chances to win.
Looking forward to a FUN week and reading your Beat the Heat comments!
Today I’m sharing my new favorite summer time drink…Pineapple
Mint -Lime Slushies. Track this stuff
down if you can, It’s easy to grow and smells just like pineapple.
To make one tall drink I squeeze the juice of one lime into
a tall glass- add a spoon or two of raw sugar, and a few sprigs of the
pineapple mint. Then you muddle that with a spoon in the bottom of the glass to
dissolve the sugar and release the mint’s oils.OK - I use a spoon because I don't have a muddler- a wooden masher thingy. I do have a nice wooden juicer though.
Next I crush a tray of ice in my trustee blender. Then I ladle
the crushed ice over the syrup in the glass, and stir. A bendable straw and
another sprig of mint make it festive. It’s pretty difficult to feel hot while
sipping one of these.
Keep Cool!
