I noticed in Chapter 11 of P&P as Bingley was preparing for his ball. He stated, “…as soon as Nicholls has made white soup enough I shall send round my cards.” There was a note that it was Gravy, egg yolks, almonds, cream, and negus (sweet and spiced wine with water), commonly served at a ball.

Kool Aid. Mango flavor is awesome! Who doesn’t feel happy drinking Kool Aid?

My favorite summer drink is sparkling water with ice and some juice added.

Iced tea made with chocolate mint from my garden [email protected]

Must try this almond milk of yours – but I’m a tea person and rarely go anywhere without some tea. For summer, i do cooled green tea – and I like it additionally spiced with rosé pepper and why not some chiliflakes and lime. Makes for a refreshing sting.

An iced mocha coffee from Starbucks or another coffee shop would be my favorite summer beverage. A blended coffee like a Frappuccino would also be good. I also like water and diet cherry cola.

I don’t like iced tea, just hot tea.

Great article Sharon! Sounds interesting, might have to try it one day 😉
In summer ( which by the way it’s not 😉 brrr, I have tea on the brain at the moment hehe
Best summer drink is water with a dash of lemonade Icy cold!

Ok you’ve convinced me Sharon! :Approve:

I’d have to go with iced tea, unsweetened, and maybe with a bit of mint. I liked this post a lot – almonds and almond milk were important to medieval cuisine, too, even extending to almond “cheese” and almond butter (all those fasting days, you know, when people couldn’t eat animal products).

Violet Bedford

Very interesting post, Sharon. It’s hard to imagine life without a refrigerator. Wow.

My favorite summer time drink is lemonade. I’m a wild woman, I know. 🙂

Cynthia is a “Yankee,” Sharon. I am not certain she has had “Sweet Tea.” It’s odd, I live in the South, but have no desire for “Sweet Tea.” I can’t say that aloud so my neighbors will make me a candidate for stoning. LOL!

Lemonade is my go-to summer drink (pink lemonade is great too!).

Monica

I love lemonade in the summer; also margaritas or spiced rum & 7up. My mom also makes a whisky slush that’s great. (I swear I’m not a lush lol).

Sophia Rose

I make up Italian Cremosas for my family in whatever flavors I have on hand, but when we’re all really hot its lemonade in chilled glasses.

Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.

My favorite summer drink is a drink my mom made for me when I was little. Its a combination of Apple, Orange and Pineapple juice that you mix together. So cool and refreshing on a hot summer day!

Vesper

I think I must be boring as all I ever drink during the summer is ice cold water. I haven’t managed yet to make any home made drinks and everything in the shops seem to contain ingredients which are bad for you

Susan Heim

My favorite summertime beverage is raspberry lemonade!

Leslie

If not water, then Cranberry juice cut with tonic water.
