ehydration is most definitely
n o t
cool, and your kids
know they’re supposed to stay hydrated throughout
the long, hot days of summer. But drinking all that
water gets boring, so w hy not shake things up? Turn
your kitchen into the ultimate mad scientist’s lab and
bring these concoctions to life. Th e drinks featured here from our
Test Kitchen are a snap to make—most need just a little fruit and a lot
of ice. Plus it’s a sneaky and fun way to get kids the fluids they need
to beat the heat.
