Martin, I think this is the last of the fruit infusions you shared with me. I put it straight into a Mason jar to steep and it looked like a magic potion in motion—immediate swirls of red curling around the jar. Almost as fun as watching jellyfish in an aquarium! But I finally pulled my eyes loose and tucked it in to chill.

Fortunately, any hibiscus in the mix was well-behaved and only added a little sharpness to the fruit flavor. Like the other Basilur entries in this series, you might be hard pressed to guess “cranberry” in a blind taste test. Kool-Aid red fruit punch, more like. But on a hot afternoon, friendly, fruity and cold is all you really need.

The last adjective in italics is the most important :)
Glad you liked most (all?) of them.

We’re supposed to get a break in the weather this weekend—80F (about 27C) for high temperatures. I may just stand outside with my arms out like a scarecrow and let the cool fall on me.
