In summer, you always want to drink, and this is quite normal, because with sweat in the heat we lose up to a liter of liquid per hour! Many go the usual way and buy lemonades and other carbonated drinks, which - alas! - do not always bring the longed-for relief. And we again go to the store for another bottle of carbonated joy ...

In order to break this vicious circle, wise hostesses prepare refreshing drinks that bring real, not imaginary, relief. Along with old, time-tested recipes, they come up with new recipes for refreshing drinks, some of which are brought to your attention by the Culinary Eden website. For the preparation of refreshing drinks, it is better to use not ordinary sugar, but fructose - the benefits will be incomparably greater. For more cooling of the drink, prepare an unusual popsicle: freeze the juice from the fruit in ice cube trays and add it to glasses with drinks. This will add extra flavor to your summer cocktails. If your family loves their dried fruit compotes, do not cook them as usual, but pour boiling water and insist in a thermos. Cook fruit drinks more often - thanks to natural juices, all vitamins are preserved in them. And if the heat has driven you into the store, and you want to freshen up immediately, buy a bottle of tonic - it is believed that it is the bitter taste that cools the best (and not the sour one, as many think).

Vegetarians deliberately refuse to eat meat, fish and other animal products. The fact that this is easy to do is quickly noticed by many neo-vegetarians in everyday life. However, few people think that not only solid food, but also drinks often affect the vegetarian lifestyle.

Vegetarians know what they eat
In recent years, the number of those who have become vegetarians has increased more and more. This happens for ethical, environmental and even economic reasons. With a wide range of food products, being a vegetarian is not difficult at all today. However, it is more difficult to control the presence of animal products in food, including completely everyday products. Animal ingredients can be found in many foods. A classic example is various candies, such as gummies: bears, fish, and worms. This kind of candy is made with gelatin, which in turn is made from the connective tissue, bones and cartilage of pigs, cattle or poultry.

Animal products are also found in drinks
The fact that gelatin is found not only in candies, but can also be included in most soft drinks, is not well known to anyone. How gelatin gets there is fairly easy to explain. It is used to brighten some fruit juices. With the help of gelatin, the coarser particles settle to the bottom of the liquid. One could wait for natural precipitation, but time is money. The excess gelatin is filtered off. But its remains can remain in drinks. Even if the gelatin is completely removed, such a drink is, strictly speaking, no longer vegetarian.

Non-vegetarian alcoholic drinks
For all wine lovers, we also have bad news, unfortunately. Many winemakers use gelatin or fish bubbles. Some Spanish winemakers still use filtered calf blood. Fish gelatin can also be found in some soft drinks. He is a carrier of such a substance as beta-carotene.

Ideal drinks for a vegetarian
Given these facts, it is difficult for the true vegetarian to find the perfect drink. One of the ways is to buy juice with pulp or to make your own juice production. Freshly squeezed juices are much healthier than store-bought juices. Some manufacturers are also beginning to slowly introduce vegan juices or use a vegan label on their products to declare their juices as suitable for a vegan diet. Otherwise, it's best to make your own drinks, so as not to hesitate. For example, homemade juice or herbal tea cannot be non-vegetarian.

conclusions
If you are a vegan, watch your health, consume at least two liters of liquid per day, or, for example, breastfeed, then you need to pay more attention to the labeling of drinks or ask questions to the manufacturer. Otherwise, there are many shops that offer vegetarian food and drinks. Also, do not neglect homemade juices, as in this case you always know exactly what they actually contain.
