Will definitely try...as well as the Sun Tea recipe. Also just found another low - cal drink option. A friend introduced me to NUUN Hydration tabs after a run and I find they come in handy all day. They come in tons of great flavors with no sugars. I find I crave a lot less soda and juices during the day and water is suddenly a bit more interesting. Thought I'd pass it along. Thanks for the recipes.
