Summer drinks

Here are some recipes at the Food Network

And some of my own concoctions I savor:

Grapefruit-cranberry cooler:
Grapefruit juice (2/3rd volume- almost fill it to the level u like to have your drink)+ Cranberry juice (1/3rd by volume- eyeball it) +black salt+ fine sugar to dust the rim if you want

Honey with Jasmine green tea( Chilled)
Boil water till bubbles begin to appear. Kill the heat. Add 6-8 pearls of Jasmine tea. Strain and cool when they unfurl. Add honey. Then Chill. You can have it warm too.
