WFMW — Refreshing Drinks

If summer has not arrived yet for you, do not fret, it IS coming.

And in the balmy summer days, or hot and humid rainy season as it were, it is important to stay hydrated, is it not?

In the interest of drinking less sugar we enjoy homemade sodas.
Fill a glass 1/4 full with your favorite juice, and fill up the rest of the way with plain soda water. Of course ice cubes make it really chilly and wonderful, and don’t forget the straw!

Loads less sugar than soda or a full glass of juice, fun bubbles to make it more exciting than plain water and stretches the juice too, making this treat easy on your budget.

This works for me, as I am enjoying one right now. Cranberry/grape to be be specific. mmmmm.

I will see you at Shannons for more ideas from the wise women at WFMW,

    I used to do this with Sprite (before I went off sugar). I remember babysitting and enjoying a glass of orange juice and 7 Up. Now, you are right, I prefer the juice/sparkling water combination.

    No pictures?? :)

    This does sound great…I just love drinks with bubbles! Much better than drinks like crystal light or lemonade. By the way, I’ve been lurking for a while, I spent the summer in Thailand a few years ago on missions. I just LOVED it and am always interested in hearing more about it. Thanks for sharing!

    Tina, thanks for your thoughts on the rich young ruler parable. I think your perspective is right — what you have and can do is meaningless in God’s economy. but what we are and what we do have, He wants.
