Today was a summery San Francisco day, also known as a day without tights. This is usually where my friends and family on the East coast tell me off. A beautiful day + Blake home from Australia  + my new subscription to RealSimple (thanks Ed and Diane!) all added up to Hibiscus Mint Lemonade.

1st squeeze some lemons.I don’t own any fancy gadget, so I do it by hand.

Tea (from the bulk section of Rainbow Grocery) and mint in water.

My super sophisticated straining method. Hey, it works.

Delicious and Beautiful. If only we had a veranda…
