Like I said, we’re having some really hot days lately, mostly in the 90’s. We got a bit of rain last night and that’s supposed to offer some reprieve. Yes but no enough. A long cool glass of Ribena lychee will definitely help .

This is a refreshingly different drink for hot afternoons. I tend to associate Ribena with being a drink for kids. But throw a couple of canned lychees into a glass of Ribena with ice cubes and it instantly becomes a drink for grown-ups . In fact, it’s quicker to make than for the lazy bone at the insurance company to print out my auto insurance receipt, duh!

My kids love how the lychees turn a light shade of purple after sitting a while in the Ribena. To them, this drink is not only tasty, it’s pretty as well.
