Healthy refreshing beverages

In the summer heats don’t believe the commercials which tell you that the only way to freshen up is to buy all those sport and energy drinks. You can always freshen up by making your own beverage at home which is by the way healthy too. We suggest you few ways to deal with the summer heats.

A cucumber and mint beverage. This might seem a bit unusual but the cold water with a few pieces of cucumber with a little bit of mint is very tasty and refreshing. You can serve it separately in a glass or have larger amounts of it and drink whenever you get thirsty.


You can make another beverage with melon. It reminds you of Jamaica too. Melons are a great source of vitamin C. You should blend the melon because by blending it you won’t throw away any nutritious ingredients. You should cut the melon in half and put it in a blender, blend it and also add a little bit of water. Serve it with ice. (you can also use a watermelon)
 A summer drink with ginger. It seems silly but it really helps a lot when it comes to high temperatures. 1.5 liters of mineral water, 1.5 liters of lime juice, 40 grams of ginger and half a teaspoon of mint. Blend all this ingredients out and serve it. If there are still little pieces left of ginger or mint you can try to squeeze them out, even though it is better to consume it all.


A cold green tea with mint. Try to prepare the tea in the outdoors, removing yourself from the kitchen heats. You need 15 green tea filter bags, 3.5 liters of water, half a spoon of chopped mint leafs, juice made of 2 lemons and add sugar. All the ingredients except the lemon juice and the juice should be put in a bigger bowl and leave them out on the sun for 3 to 4 hours depending of how dark you want the tea to be. Then put out the tea bags and add the lemon juice and sugar. Serve it with ice, and enjoy!
