If you're a resident of Kolkata, you understand the impossible to bear heat & humidity we experience all summer long. It makes it impossible to enjoy the traditional hot beverages of chai & coffee. This summer, Hungerz recommends the ultimate homemade summer drink which is not only healthy but really refreshing: Iced Tea.
The documented benefits of tea have been discussed many times. Here in an article by the Times of India and again here at MDHealth.com the many pros of drinking homemade iced tea are expounded upon - in fact it even contains a recipe.
Here are a couple more great recipes from Oprah, Huffington Post & Eating Well.
As long as you keep away from too much sugar, Iced Tea can be the perfect summer drink which can be brewed & kept in the fridge to be consumed over 2-3 days making it perhaps more convenient than other traditional options like lassi & shikanji which must be made fresh.
Here's to June & especially the 10th of June which are celebrated worldwide as the Iced Tea Month & Day respectively.
