Summer is almost upon us and it won’t be too long before we will be melting down the moment we step out of the house.

Ultimately, we all resort to chilled sodas and soft drinks that are super unhealthy and quite addictive. Wouldn’t you like an alternative this summer to beat the heat? Here are 5 delicious summer drinks that are not only not unhealthy, but your body won’t mind if you consume lots of it!

Iced Tea

A breeze to make and oh so energizing, Iced Tea offers a reprieve like no other. Flaunting flavours like ginger and honey, peach, mint and a host of other flavours, Iced Tea is a favourite with the young and old alike. Just put in a slice of lime and add some ice cubes, and you’re golden!
