Here’s a nice and refreshing drink to enjoy while doing some yard work. Easy to make for those who don’t want to take too long of a break while pulling weeds or mowing the lawn, this one will not only keep you going, it will also keep you coming back for more. Just be ready to not be in too much of a mood to finish your household duties after a couple of these.
