a twist on lemonade

June is National Iced Tea Month (as opposed to January, which is National Hot Tea Month), and then there's always the warm weather classic:  a tall cool glass of lemonade.  Next time you make a pitcher of lemonade, however, think about substituting one cup of well-steeped, chilled Tazo Cucumber White for a cup of water.  It tones down the lemonade's sweetness with a nice herbal cucumber note, as does adding a garnish of fresh basil or rosemary, or even a slice of cucumber along with a wedge of fresh lemon.
