Summer-like weather has finally arrived, and I hope it is here to stay! It’s perfect outside. Mid 70’s-80’s. I have been living off of iced black tea, and today I bought my first iced coffee of the season. Yum.
Any iced drink with lemonade, grapefruit juice, or tea really just gets me. These are some of the iced drinks I would like to make this summer:
Lavender Lemonade
Drinking lavender lemonade last summer was probably one of my biggest highlights. I could drink it every day, forever. After attending a lavender festival with a friend last year, we gathered lavender and lemons and created the most wonderful drink I have ever had (besides grapefruit juice…hmm…let’s call it a tie). Now, I just believe that lavender should be in everything. (You can find this recipe at London Bakes)
Earl Grey Tea Lemonade
Holy. Moly. This sounds too good to be true! My roommate and I are having a graduation party together, and I would love to make some of this. I found the recipe at Semisweetie.
Flavored Lemonade
Emma and Elsie at A Beautiful Mess came up with all of these lemonade ideas, and I think I need to try to make each of them. For my friend’s bachelorette party, I made the grapefruit lemonade and it was probably the most amazing thing I have ever tried in my life. My roommate is insisting that we have mint cucumber lemonade at our party, so I’ll let you know how that is :)
Iced Chai
Iced chais are always a “yes please” for me. This recipe from Big Girls Small Kitchen looks like something I need to try.
What are your favorite iced drinks? I would love to add to my summertime beverage list :)

Earl Grey lemonade?! Yum. The hubs has been really into green tea lemonade lately, but that one’s not as tasty to me. I think a black tea would be better in there!
