It's been raining here in the Boston area for a week (you've probably seen it on the news), but you can also feel the warm weather creeping in. I hate summer with a passion (it's a long story, mostly involving humidity), and one of the very few things that gets me through the months of June, July, and August (besides tennis and Red Sox baseball) are the cold drinks. So here are the eight that help me survive the season of hell:1. Iced tea. No, not the "real" iced tea, made with tea bags and served cold. That stuff just tastes like you left a hot cup of tea out for a few hours and it got cold. No, I mean giant glasses of very cold iced tea, with as much sugar and lemon that Lipton can fit into a giant tub. Oh, I love this stuff.
