This is a drink I had on a trip to Jamaica. It’s incredibly refreshing and simple to make. Mel** are a great source of vi**in C, and when you puree instead of juicing, you retain all of that healthy fiber. Here’s how to make your own melon puree:
Slice up a a honeydew melon or cantaloupe into chunks。
Blend until smooth, adding a bit of water to thin things out if necessary。
Chill your puree before serving for extra cooling benefits。
You could probably make this with watermelon or any other sweet melon, but I’ve only tried honeydew and cantaloupe。
It might sound like a strange combination, but cold water with a couple of slices of cucumber and a sprig of mint is a delicious, cooling summer drink. You can serve this up one glass at a time or put together a whole pitcher to keep in the fridge. Here’s how to make an eight-serving batch of cucumber mint water:
Combine a half of a sliced cucumber and 1/2 cup of coarsely chopped mint in a four quart pitcher。
Top the pitcher off with 16 cups of water and chill until you’re ready to serve。
Bonus points if you grow your own mint or cucumbers to whip up this beverage!
A spicy drink might seem counter-intuitive when temperatures heat up, but spicy foods actually help your body regulate its temperature. This ginger cooler will do the trick nicely!
1/4c chopped ginger
1/2c chopped mint leaves
juice of one lime
6 cups sparking water
sweetener of your choice, to taste
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and serve chilled. You can strain this drink, if you don’t like the texture of the ginger and mint bits, but I prefer mine whole。
3、姜味饮料
大热天喝辣味饮料听起来挺反常的,但辣味食物的确有助人体调节体温——姜味饮料就有这样的良好功效。
·1/4杯切碎的姜
·1/2杯切碎的薄荷叶
·一只酸橙榨出的果汁
·6杯苏打水
·依据个人口味添加的甜味剂
把上述食材用搅拌器搅拌好后冷藏。如果不喜欢姜和薄荷叶,可以把它们过滤掉,但我个人喜欢保留它们。
4. Iced Green Tea with Lemon and Mint
Avoid heating up the house with the stove and brew your tea in the sun instead! This takes a bit of planning, but there’s not a lot of actual work involved。
15 bags of organic green tea
1 gallon of water
1/2c whole fresh mint leaves
juice of 2 lem**
sweetener of your choice, to taste
Combine the tea bags, water, and mint in a clean, gallon-sized container and set it out in the sun for 3-4 hours, depending on how dark you like your tea。
Remove the tea bags and add the lemon juice and sweeten, if you like。
