Many people have been working outdoors recently readying gardens and crops for summer.  When working in the heat, it is important to stay hydrated and pace your efforts to avoid dehydration, heat stroke, and heat exhaustion.

Chinese herbal medicine has a tasty option to help with summer heat.  Watermelon fruit and peel are used to quench thirst, generate body fluids, lessen feelings of heat, and promote urination.  It is an excellent snack if you are going to be working or playing hard this summer.

Ingredients:
4 c watermelon peel

2 tsp salt

 Dressing:

1 tsp sugar (to taste)

1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
