• 1/4 cup granulated sugar;

Hello dear friends!

What do you think is better: drinking water in the heat or tea?

I even foresee the answer: what kind of tea can there be in the heat, if you want something cold? Let's figure out what is better to drink in the heat.

What drinks to drink in the heat

What do we drink the most? Compotes, kvass, water, carbonated and mineral water, and such that from the refrigerator.

All this, of course, is not forbidden, but! Have you noticed that even after draining a whole bottle of soda, you still want to drink?

And the fact is that the carbon dioxide contained in soda affects the taste buds of the tongue, causing a desire to drink it again. Caffeine is also often added to soda, and this leads to dehydration, so we cannot get enough of such water.

Soda contains a large amount of sugar, a huge amount of dyes, preservatives and flavorings. And we do not need such an unnatural drink!

What are the best drinks to drink on a hot day?

It must be borne in mind that all sweet drinks do not quench thirst, they make you want to drink even more. In addition, they also whet the appetite.

Slightly sour drinks quench your thirst best of all: homemade bread kvass; compotes from fresh fruits and berries, acidified with lemon; jelly; currant and cranberry fruit drinks; cherry, plum, tomato, dogwood, grapefruit, lemon juices; sour milk drinks.

But no soft drinks can replace ordinary water.

Why you should drink water when it's hot

After all, what is thirst? Thirst is the body's signal of water deficiency. The loss of water already by 1-2% of body weight leads to a feeling of thirst.

If you do not drink enough water, the liquid part of the blood thickens, a blood clot forms, which leads to heart attacks and strokes, which often occur in the summer.

With a lack of water, the amount of circulating blood decreases, it drains from the head and the person may lose consciousness.

To quench your thirst, you need to drink and drink water.

Compotes, jelly and juices only temporarily cool the body, and do not make up for the lack of water, because they contain sugar, and sugar is already food.

Dairy products are also not very suitable, because they have little water.

It is best to drink plain water. Only not immediately in large quantities, but little by little throughout the day.

If the feeling of thirst has come, then the body is already dehydrated, and this should not be allowed. It would be nice to develop the habit of taking at least two sips every half an hour, and preferably half a glass of warm or hot water.

I always take a bottle of water with me and never buy ice water in stores.

How much water to drink in the heat

Doctors say that if in winter it is enough to drink 1.5 liters of water a day, then in summer this amount doubles, i.e. You should drink up to 3 liters of water a day. But you should not drink more than 3 liters either, because this is an additional burden on the kidneys.

And it is necessary, of course, to take into account the physiological characteristics of a person, physical activity, chronic diseases.

In general, of course, our body is very smart and knows when and how much water to drink, but sometimes it needs to be prompted.

So, we could already sum up: what is better to drink in the heat? First of all, clean water, purified through a filter, or purchased in bottles, and you can also use mineral water, but without a lot of salts. See that it is not medicinal water, but a dining room, which contains up to 1 gram of salt per liter of water.

Mineral water replenishes salts and minerals that are excreted from the body with sweat.

It is better to drink non-carbonated water. A large amount of highly carbonated water can lead to swelling. And artificial aeration of water also violates the acid-base balance.

Why You Shouldn't Drink Cold Water When It's Hot

Having drunk cold water, you can catch a sore throat in the summer.

Also, I have an opinion. After all, our body temperature is 36 degrees, so you need to drink water at such a temperature so as not to disturb the heat balance. You want to drink a lot of cold water, because you don’t get drunk with it, you don’t quench your thirst. And if you drink a glass of warm water, then this will be enough for the body, and you will not want to drink for a long time.

That's why people drink hot tea in the heat, no matter how paradoxical it seems!

Why do people drink hot tea in hot weather?

Pepsicols and forfeits are brought to us from the west. And people in hot countries know that cold drinks should not be drunk. This is what scientists are talking about. Cold breaks and kills the balance, and hot, on the contrary, balances, tones.

In the heat, it is better to drink hot tea. Here in Uzbekistan they drink tea several times a day. After drinking hot tea, sweat is released, and after the release of sweat, the body and the body begin to cool. After all, we have special receptors in our mouths. And when we drink a hot drink, the receptor sends a signal to the brain that it's time to start sweating. The body begins to give off heat, which means that overheating will be excluded.

Summer drink recipes at home

Summer lemonades are easy to make at home, and they are much healthier than store-bought highly carbonated lemonades with a high sugar content. Bar manager Rail Dianov knows great recipes for cold summer drinks, for example, in the heat, he prepares a cocktail based on blackcurrant puree and fresh basil, adding lime juice and a little homemade sugar syrup, and then pouring the ingredients with sparkling water. While the drink is infused, the excess bubbles dissolve and the taste becomes softer - it remains to add ice and enjoy the pleasant taste of lemonade.

Rail Dianov

bar manager

“The highlight of this refreshing cocktail is that the classic Russian taste of blackcurrant is combined with the traditional Italian seasoning - basil. This unusual savory drink will help you cool off in the heat and is ready to be a wonderful aperitif before dinner.”

Homemade ginger lemonade is no less tasty and good than hot ginger tea in winter. Pieces of ginger are first poured over with boiling water so that they reveal their taste, then the ginger is generously mixed with ice, which cools the drink and dilutes it, softening the sharpness of the ginger. Raspberry puree, lime juice and honey must be added to the cocktail, then poured with soda water. According to Rail Dianov, ginger notes give the usual berry sweet and sour lemonade a light oriental flavor.

There are many recipes for summer refreshing drinks made from citrus fruits, which are considered the best fruits for lemonades. Try making homemade lemonade with tangerines, peach and tangerine puree, and sugar syrup. Fill the jug with soda water, garnish with a sprig of rosemary and a tangerine wedge. “Citrus fruits quench your thirst in hot weather,” reminds Rail, and it’s hard to disagree with him, besides, simple recipes for summer drinks do not require culinary talents and too much time.

Tea lemonade is made on the basis of any tea, such as chamomile, which is diluted with an unusual mix of cucumber and. Don't forget to put sugar, soda water and ice in the cocktail, and you can decorate it with lemon and chamomile flowers. According to Julia, this is the real taste of summer!

Every day the human body loses 2.5 liters of water, it leaves as a result of the activity of the kidneys, intestines, lungs and skin. If there is little fluid, dehydration occurs, which leads to dysfunction of all organs and systems. If we don't drink enough, replacing some of the liquid with juicy fruits, the body has to do extra work to get water from fruits, instead of directing energy to maintain bodily functions. In addition, moisture deficiency leads to the destruction of our health and premature aging, because cell renewal occurs due to intercellular fluid. It is better to distribute water and summer soft drinks evenly throughout the day to ensure constant replenishment of moisture in the body, and you can find recipes for refreshing cocktails on the Eat at Home! .

Getting ready for the summer! In the heat, the basis of our menu is drinking. Because of the hot weather, you want to drink almost constantly. And you don't have to deny yourself! Better let's see what refreshing drinks can be prepared in the summer.

1. Homemade lemonade

This is perhaps the easiest option. At the same time, it perfectly removes thirst. It can be sour or sweet with a slight sourness - it all depends on you.
Ingredients:
half a lemon
Liter of sparkling water
5 st. spoons of sugar
Ice

Cooking:
Juice is squeezed from the lemon and poured into a lemonade jug. Sugar and chopped pulp and lemon zest are also added there, everything is mixed and filled with sparkling water. The drink is ready! If desired, ice can be added before serving.

In fact, the amount of sugar and lemon juice in this drink is a matter of taste. Some people like it when it is very sour, others prefer to put more sugar.

2. Turkish lemonade

I also want to introduce you to Turkish lemonade. The drink is very rich in vitamin C, perfectly refreshes and quenches thirst.

Lemon - 7 pcs,
Sugar (to taste) - 500-700 g,
Mint (can be without it, 3 leaves) - 3 pcs.

Cooking:
I wash my lemons very carefully, because we will put them into action along with the skin. Then we cut them into arbitrary pieces (not large, but not very small).
Then we put them in the mixer, add a little sugar to make it easier to grind, and add, if any, mint leaves. Everything does not fit into the mixer at once, so we do it in portions. For those who do not have a mixer, a hint: you can grate, but always with a skin. Grind everything into a bowl. Pour our ground lemons with water, add sugar to taste (just do not forget that sugar dissolves in cold water for a long time, so do not overdo it). In no case do not pour hot water, otherwise you will get a bitter drink.
And now we put our pot of lemonade in the refrigerator overnight. Again, do not leave the drink to infuse at room temperature, it will be bitter.
The next morning, we take the pan out of the refrigerator. The lemons will sink to the bottom. Now this whole thing needs to be sorted out. It can be through gauze, it can be through a sieve, as it is more convenient for someone. Well, that's it, our drink is ready.
