Summer is coming and, with it, high temperatures. In addition, this 2021 the State Meteorological Agency has warned that it will be a hotter summer than normal. In order not to suffer any health problems, hydration is essential. Of course, sometimes we forget to put our drinks in the fridge, and when we go to get them they are hot. The solution we all think of is to put them in the freezer, but this means waiting at least half an hour until they are cold. Well, there is a very easy and quick trick to cool drinks . We will tell you!
The simplest trick to cool drinks in summer
We only need three things: water, ice and salt . They are very simple ingredients, which all of us have in the kitchen at home. This trick to cool drinks works for both bottles and cans.
The mixture of water and salt generates what is known as an endothermic reaction. The salt borrows the heat from the can or bottle and the temperature of the ice passes in a few minutes to the drink we want to cool.
The process is the following. We put water and ice in a container . Then we add salt and stir until it dissolves. When we have it ready, we put the can or bottle in and wait about four or five minutes. Once the time has elapsed, we take it out, and that’s it!
Another trick, this one with a freezer
If we have guests at home and we do not have so many containers to cool all the drinks , we can put this trick into practice. We need a freezer, but it’s much faster than just putting drinks in the freezer.
What we have to do is wet the kitchen paper in warm water . Then we put a little salt and wrap the drink in the paper. We put it in the freezer, and in 10 minutes we have it ready to drink.
Finally, we want to remember the importance of hydrating very well in the summer months . We should not wait to be thirsty, because thirst is one of the first symptoms of dehydration. Experts recommend drinking two liters of water a day, although this largely depends on our age, weight, lifestyle … At this time of year it is advisable to always carry a bottle of water with us so that we can hydrate anywhere and moment.
