Something that absolutely screams summer for me is a glass of nice, cold, refreshing iced tea. It’s so simple to make it and keep a container of it in the fridge for those hot days. Can’t stand using the powdered stuff, as I don’t want all those chemicals in my body. Just lovely, sweet iced tea.
The heat continues to be rather unbearable here, and I am continually seeking ways to overcome it. Fans are going all over the house, and I am experimenting with cocktail popsicles. Today’s attempt is Irish Cream popsicles.
it is very hot here at the moment and has been for several days. Â I find it difficult to cope with the heat, so I am constantly looking for cool treats. A little experimenting produced these cappuccino fudgesicles.
I combined:
It made 8 cappuccini-sicles which were tasty and refreshing.
As I have a lactose problem, I used lactose free yogurt, milk and cream. The total Weight Watchers points for all fudgesicles was 12. It could easily be reduced to 9 by using skim milk instead of the cream, which would make them about 1 point each.

It’s been really hot here, and I don’t take the heat very well. Never have, never will. I’m fine when it is nice and warm, but I don’t like scorching heat when the house gets too hot and it seems hard to breathe. All I want then is a nice swim in a pool or lake; or some shade, a lounger, a book and something cool to drink or eat.  The other day I decided to do something I haven’t done since my daughter was a child…I made homemade strawberry popsicles.
In the heat this weekend, Steve really fancied making some red wine sangria…as we have red wine on hand and usually have a lot of fruit hanging about. He whipped this up and left it to chill so that it was ready to have with our dinner.
