When the sun is at its peak we desire to quench our thirst frequently with some cooling refreshments. It becomes even more welcoming with hydrating beverages. 

So, last weekend the weather was warm, sky was clear and my family was engaged in outdoor fun activities. I decided to welcome them inside with this healthy and refreshing beverage with summer flavors in it.

I always focus on seasonal produce and this summer apricot has been on my mind for a while. 

Finally, I cam up with a recipe that everyone loves and devours happily.
