It's sweltering back here in New York - today was another heat advisory, temps nearing 90, with lots of humidity. Since I don't have AC I'm dependent on a fan and cold drinks, but all is well: today I had a chance to go to my favorite Japanese grocer and I'm all stocked up on mugicha (roasted barley tea). It's the antithesis of sweetened carbonated beverages. Nothing refreshes like it - not even ice water pur!
