In the summer you always feel thirsty, and this is quite normal, because with sweat in the heat we lose up to a liter of fluid per hour! Many go the usual way and buy lemonades and other carbonated drinks, which - alas! - do not always bring the desired relief. And we again go to the store for another bottle of carbonated joy ...
In order to break this vicious circle, wise hostesses prepare refreshing drinks that bring real, not imaginary, relief. Along with old, centuries-old recipes, they invent new recipes for refreshing drinks, some of which the Culinary Eden website brings to your attention.

Cook fruit drinks more often - thanks to natural juices, all vitamins are preserved in them.
