MyPlate's summer message is to replace sugary drinks with water. There are tons of tasty ways to follow that advice, whether you toss some cucumber and lemon slices into your ice water or reach for a tall glass of seltzer and fresh fruit, but one of our favorite ways to stick to MyPlate's recommendation is this delicious Cran Razzle Tea.
