Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Taste of Summer Cookbook. I was on a roll brewing coffee for my dinner earlier this evening and I thought this would be a nice after-dinner treat. I was right. This drink is a nice, refreshing drink to enjoy anytime of the day during the summer and it  will quickly cool you down. This drink is something you would get at a coffee sshop but pay a lot of money for. You can save yourself a lot of money and calories when you make this treat at home. This drink is also great for company as well.
