There are several refreshing beverages that you should enjoy during the hot summer months.
These drinks will help you feel comfortable and cool while providing essential nourishment to cope with the extreme heat
Aam Pana.
Aam Panna is a delicious drink that everyone should try.
We always enjoy raw mangoes during hot weather. Take one raw mango, cook it in a pressure cooker, remove the pulp, create a paste, and add a generous amount of water to it.
In this water, add jaggery, roasted cumin seeds, and a pinch of salt, and observe how it feels.
You should maintain it at a paste consistency. It should have a sweet and sour flavor, creating a delightful liquid that is enjoyable to consume.
Drink it twice a day to help combat the summer heat.
Rose Water
Take two glasses of water, add half a cup of sugar—preferably candy sugar—and bring it to a boil.
Once it has boiled thoroughly, remove it from the fire and add rose petals to the pot, preferably pink desi rose petals, as they are particularly beneficial.
Place a generous amount of petals in a container and leave them undisturbed.
By afternoon or evening, the mixture will cool down. At that point, strain the liquid and enjoy it as rose sharbat.
Buttermilk
Buttermilk is a traditional Indian summer beverage. While it is typically enjoyed during the warmer months, it is advisable to consume more buttermilk in the summer.
Take a cup of yogurt and add a sufficient amount of water, then churn it to create a smooth white liquid.
In that, add a pinch of salt, preferably pink rock salt, along with roasted cumin seeds to create a delicious drink.
You may add a small amount of sugar if you want to enhance the flavor, but be cautious not to overdo it. This will create a delicious salted buttermilk, which can be enjoyed at breakfast or lunchtime for a refreshing experience.
Jaljeera
A simple and easily prepared drink for those experiencing digestive issues during the summer.
People should consume roasted cumin seeds, a small amount of coriander powder, and a pinch of black pepper, mixing them with water.
Jaljeera powder is readily available in the market. You can mix jaljeera powder with a glass of water, stir it well, and then drink it.
This beverage is also beneficial for digestion.
Sabja with Lemon Juice.
An excellent combination that balances electrolytes is to try lemon juice.
Soak sabja seeds or chia seeds in water for a period of time.
Once they are puffed up, add them to the lemon juice. Drink this juice once or twice a day.
This juice is excellent for managing heat in hot climates. It is rich in vitamin C, which helps protect your skin from sunburn and rashes.
Lassi
An amazing sweet drink! Take a cup of yogurt, add a generous amount of water, and churn it to create a smooth liquid. Lassi is slightly thicker than chaas.
In lassi, it is recommended to use sugar, preferably candy sugar. Some people also add honey to their lassi.
Additionally, add a pinch of cardamom. Some people also include rose water and strands of saffron. Sip the drink slowly.
It will create a beautiful sensation within you.
Watermelon Juice
Watermelon is in season during this hot climate. Prepare a refreshing juice from the watermelon and enjoy it sip by sip. Drink it slowly to savor the flavor.
It is a very thin liquid; therefore, try to hydrate your body with watermelon juice.
Dehydration is quite common, and many issues can arise if you are not cautious and do not consume adequate fluids.
In hot climates, your skin can become dry, your eyes may feel sore, and your lips can become chapped and painful. Additionally, you may experience significant fatigue, and your muscles may feel sore, as if they lack strength.
If you are not careful, a person can also die. Therefore, make sure to take care of yourself.
These drinks can serve as substitutes for your main meals.
Enjoy these beverages to feel refreshed, joyful, and invigorated.
