Hello friends in Amazing Drinks Community, today's weather is very hot, since early morning, the sun starts to shine brightly, sweat starts to come out of my pores, I feel dizzy from this extreme hot weather. If I leave this condition until the afternoon, I will be dehydrated. I need a fresh drink to reduce dehydration. I checked into the fridge, I found only tomatoes, coke, ice water and ice cubes. I am very lazy to go out of the house to buy fresh drinks, I will make fresh drinks from makeshift ingredients in the refrigerator. Tomatoes are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin A which is useful as an antioxidant to counteract free radicals that will enter our body. In addition, tomatoes are also rich in minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, sodium and iron. By consuming fresh tomatoes, it will help the body to meet the needs of vitamin A and minerals.
I remember, yesterday I just picked some lemons from my neighbor's garden, lemons are rich in vitamin C and are useful as antioxidants. I will use lemon as an ingredient for my drink. Besides being rich in vitamin C, lemon also contains enough fiber to help the digestive system. Lemon also contains minerals such as magnesium and potassium which are needed to increase the body's immunity.
During the day with very hot weather conditions, we need fresh drinks that can restore stamina, that's why I make fresh drinks from ingredients that are beneficial for the health of our bodies.
The ingredients
I will make this refreshing drink only one portion. The ingredients that I use to make this refreshing drink for anti-dehydration are :
1 tomato
1 lemon
200 mL coke
300 mL iced water
1 bowl of ice cubes
If you have cucumbers and pears at home, you can add a little of them.
How to make
1.Clean the tomatoes and lemons.
2.Cut the tomatoes to the shape according to our taste. I cut it round following the shape of the tomato, don't throw away the skin, because tomato skin is rich in vitamin A and rich in antioxidants which are useful for helping skin and eye health.
3.Cut the lemon according to taste, I cut it randomly, not following the shape of the lemon. I also don't throw away the skin, lemon peel is rich in vitamin C which can help boost the body's immunity.
4.Put the lemon slices into a serving glass.
5.Add the chopped tomatoes into the serving glass.
6.Add ice water.
7.Add Coke.
8.Finally add ice cubes according to our individual tastes.
Serving method
Served in hot weather, this refreshing drink can help overcome dehydration and also helps skin moisture.I only use a little coke to enrich the taste of this fresh drink. If friends have honey at home, friends can replace coke with honey.
