Cooling Off with Iced Tea After a Long Doggie Walk

Our dog, Sherman, requires a lot of exercise. He gets at least a two hour walk in the morning and sometimes a walk that long in the evening. It takes a lot of time but the exercise is good for all of us. July in Virginia is hot. Sherman cools off on a walk by jumping in and out of the creek, but Mr. SP and I don’t have that luxury. (Well, we could…but we don’t!) When we get home from a long weekend walk, we like to relax on the patio with a refreshing drink. We sometimes get tired of water or our usual lemonade and recently tried iced tea that we brew in our Keurig. After a long walk, a fresh iced tea really hits the spot!
Saturday’s walk really tired Sherman out. After walking, hunting for mice, and having a rousing play session with his doggie friend Rosie, Sherman was ready for a nap!
Sherman was ready for a nap and I was ready to sit down after being on my feet for such a long time!
On a recent grocery trip to Walmart, I picked up two boxes of iced tea to prepare in our Keurig. We both are glad to have these on-hand for refreshment on our hot Virginia summer days.
There are many available flavors and your store probably carries even more varieties than my local Walmart.
Use the 6 oz or oz setting on your Keurig for the best taste and be sure to brew your iced tea in a plastic cup.
Fun Fact:
I didn’t know until I was an adult that people drank any beverage other than iced tea with dinner. Not a meal went by that Mama didn’t make a pitcher of fresh tea for an evening meal. My grandmothers made tea, so did all of my aunts, and so did the moms of all of my friends. When I went away to college, I realized that people drank beverages other than tea for dinner.
Snapple #BrewOverIce has just 40 calories per serving and Lipton Brew Over Ice Sweet Tea has 50 calories. We won’t break the calorie bank enjoying these beverages this summer.

Oooh cool! I had no idea there was anything like this for a Keurig. I will check them out!
Two hour walks?! Holy smoke! That is why you look as good as you do. Yay for you. I grew up drinking lots and lots of iced tea. Now I drink water or lemonade most of the time. Mostly water though.
No wonder your legs look awesome! I must try this tea and a 2 hour walk!
We don’t have a dog right now but keeping up with the boys… it’s Summer in FL and I LOVE iced tea and grew up on it as well!
This looks so refreshing and your dog is precious!
I love the brew over ice K-cups! I can’t think of an easier way to refresh during the summer!
We love iced tea in our house. So refreshing.
