We are up at the Lakehouse for a week of family vacation. Today is hot and we are out on the boat cooling off in the nice lake water. Here along the shore my eye caught site of bunches of chocolate mint and spearmint growing along the shore.

We also have some cherries to snack on, which gave me an idea…

I drank down my water bottle a bit, stuffed the basil leave down in there, bit a few cherries in half and put them in too, closed the lid and shook, shook, shook…

Cherry Mint Water – it’s a delight – a fresh Michigan treat on a hot day!
