During these hot summer months, we all want some yummy treats that can keep us cool while chilling by the pool. Here are some quick and easy recipes that will keep you satisfied all summer long.
Sour Patch Grapes
You will need:
-1 pound fresh green grapes
-1 package of Watermelon Jell-O unprepared
-1 package of sugar-free Lemon Jell-O unprepared
Mix the two Jell-O flavors together in a small plastic bag. Then pour a little bit at a time onto a plate.
Remove the grapes from the stems and run the grapes under water to clean them. While the grapes are still slightly damp, place a few onto the place with the Jell-O mixture and roll them around for an even coating.
Place the evenly-coated grapes into a bowl, and continue coating the rest of the grapes with the Jell-O mixture.
Put the coated grapes in the fridge for about an hour before serving.
Homemade Passion Tea Lemonade
You will need:
-2 Tazo Passion Tea bags
-16 oz. water
-4 oz. lemonade
-2 tsp. sugar
-1/8 tsp. vanilla
Bring the water to a boil. Then remove from heat and add the tea bags, sugar, and vanilla. Let this mixture sit for about 15 minutes. Remove the tea bags and place in the fridge for at least one hour.
Fill a tall, sealable pitcher with ice. Add 8 oz. of the tea mixture and 2 oz. of lemonade per serving. Shake the mixture well before serving.
