Summer drinks (159/365)

It is hot enough that when I got in just now, after a 40-minute walk and then a 15-minute drive in a car whose air conditioning always takes a good 20 minutes to kick in properly, I thought I'd rather have a cold drink than a cup of tea.

At which point I discovered that my stock of cold drinks consisted of about an inch of rather old elderflower cordial and a similar quantity of similar vintage Rose's lime juice cordial. And, while elderflower and lime mixed is definitely refreshing, I should probably replenish my stock a bit.

So, DW. What are your favourite non-alcoholic summer drinks?

Soda water and freshly squeezed lime/lemon juice with ice. Sugar syrup to taste.

Iced tea (without sugar), with a slice of lemon.

I do sometimes make cold-brewed tea with flavoured teabags, which is rather nice but does need a bit of planning. (Not much, but it's not something you can just come home and pour a glass of.)

I've never done cold-brewed tea. My housekeeper makes normal tea, pours it into a jug, lets it cool down, and then sticks it in the fridge.
