Beat the hot weather with strawberry lychee soda. It is the perfect fizzy non-alcohol drink to quench your thirst on a hot day and pairs well with toasted bread, croissant waffles, or orange coconut cream puffs.
If there’s anything I want these days, that is ice cream. Summer is here and mother nature has been signaling hot temperatures. It’s still not bad compared to life in Southern California, but still… I can’t stand anything above the 80s. That’s probably my limit.
And I’m glad the hub agrees with me. He is always so very happy when I drag him to an ice cream store, as he loves ice cream more than I do. Anywho, I’m trying to cut down on it since there’s no way to get an ice cream daily. Luckily for me, KitchenAid has a sparkling beverage maker that works like magic. This machine is magical! I’ve been making lots of fun drinks with this machine. It’s super easy to make, and you’ll feel guilt-free for having this instead of ice cream. I am glad the hubs are on the same page on this one as well.
