Keeping cool on a very hot day: iced herb water

So...hot enough for you? As temperatures hover near 100f for yet another day, we're looking for all sorts of ways to keep cool. One of our favorites: iced herb water. Mint is a natural, but try some other herbs -- lavender, thyme, basil...mint and lavender together? Perfection. Or use seltzer water, add a little rosemary and a lot of ice. Of course, adding a few blueberries or slices of peach would be delicious. The possibilities and combinations are endless -- and this is an ideal time to experiment.

What are your favorite ways to combat this oppressive heat? We'd love to hear from you!
