Each day here in Texas just seems to get hotter. And I know the summer has only just begun.
Sigh.
So, naturally, as you could probably tell from my watermelon cake of towering goodness, this insane heat is leading me to seek out anything and everything that I associate with being cool and refreshing.
In fact, that’s exactly how this recipe came to be.
In a moment of heat-induced desperation, I combined everything seemingly refreshing that I had on hand and held my breath that it would offer some sort of relief.
I’m happy to report that it passed on all levels: cool, refreshing, healthy, and nommmmmmyyyy!
