Lynn Says Easy Sips: Next time you have iced tea, flavor with honey Instead In-stead of sugar and serve with lemon and orange wedges. It's delightful. If you have leftover fruit juices, coffee or tea, make ice cubes with them. Then frosty drinks will not nave that watery flavor. Bits of fruit, berries or mint sprigs may also be frozen in ice cubes to ir.ake them attractive. For a good afternoon pick-up, :ry chilled tomato juice with ginger gin-ger ale; or, use apricot nectar .nth a dash of lemon juice. Iced coffee takes on a party touch w'hen topped with meringue and sprinkled with cinnamon. |
