Grapefruit Mint Cooler via Sips and Spoonfuls

This refreshing drink, via Sips and Spoonfuls is cooling and perfect for this time of the year. From the humidity, heat, and long summer days, this drink is perfect for a refreshing cool-down. If you're celebrating Ramadhan, then this drink is great to break your fast with as well. It's cooling and reloads your vitamin intake, sugars, reboots your energy and quenches your thirst

Try it out...you love it just as much as you'll love the blog's author's food photography (below):






Here's the recipe:

1 Grapefruit
1 Cup of Water
Sugar to taste (about just over 1/4 cup)
1 handful of mint leaves
Ice and extra mint leaves for garnish

Directions:
Boil the sugar, water and mint leaves until the sugar has just dissolved. Sieve out the mint leaves if desired (which is what I did) for a more subtle mint taste. Juice the grapefruit and add the juice and the sugar mixture into a blender. Blend until just incorporated.  Cool in the freezer before serving with ice cubes and mint leaves.

Thought of the Day (1)


Quote of the day

[via tumblr.com]
Thought: Summer's Here! Which means:




'Very Nice' weather (+ beach [i.e. the woody and blue nature of the picture])

Colorful and fun sunglasses to wear out
(these are DVF's cateye glasses)

 Summer means pastel colored nail polish [ :) ]

Lilac
Neutral/Pastel Shades of Pink
Turquoise (very in this season - the one in Essie's Braziliant Collection is the perfect hue)


I go weak in the knees for the beach and anything beach related, like this sign (and colors)

Beach inspired interior: Like I said, anything beach related, although this 
does not top my list, it def is pleasing to the eye, and very summer like

By now you probably realize, I love DVF, but the Harper bag does top my list!
(+ summer = bright colored accessories) 

What are your summer favorites?

Until tomorrow....
À Bietnôt!
