Hot
days only mean one thing, cold drinks! During summer, it is almost a
necessity to cool our body from the inside out, and that means tons of
cold glasses of water! Ice water, obviously, the first summer drink that
pops up in our head that keep our body, skin and mind healthy. However,
while pure water with heaps of ice is a total breeze, sometimes we want
to taste a little flavor in our refreshment. It is easy to get some
cold cocktails, but those are not the option when it comes to healthy
summer drinks. Try some of these healthy, cooling, summer drinks
instead!
Cucumber
Mint Water – serving this drink is quite easy, all you need is a few
slices of cucumber and a mint sprig and that’s it. Put those into your
half-full of water, add a handful of ice if necessary, stir, and sip! 
Watermelon
Juice – based on research, consuming watermelon regularly helps you
lose weight because more than 90% from a watermelon is water. To enjoy
it during summer time, you can serve it in a traditional way, or add
mint leaves and rock salt to reduce the sweet taste.
Mango
milkshake – this refreshment is quite popular among little kids. The
combination of mango and milk in your drink will create a super yummy
summer drink. Some of the benefits are controlling blood pressure,
increasing one’s immunity and preventing anemia.
Sugarcane
juice – rich in potassium, antioxidants, glucose, magnesium and
calcium, drinking sugarcane prevents a heatstroke and also helps to
fight infections. To make it fresh, make sure to serve it with ice.
Iced
Ginger Tea with Lemon – much better to serve it in a pitcher. Simply
boil enough water and pour over large bowl with enough bags of ginger
tea. Steep for around 15 or 20 minutes, then remove the bags and pour it
into a pitcher full of ice and lemons.
Coconut
water – one of the famous drinks in Asia, coconut water provides so
many nutrients such as amino acids, B vitamins, zero cholesterol and
also a diuretic, which can help someone to recover someone from
diarrhea. There are 2 ways to drink it; pour the coconut water into a
glass of ice or pour a handful of ice to the coconut fruit. Either way,
it is going to be the best summer drink on the island.
