Drinking to cool off

Hi Everyone,  Here in the Caribbean we live in a tropical environment that enjoys summer weather all year round but in July and August, it gets even hotter. The fans circulate hot air, the trees are still and the nights bring only a slight respite from the heat. One of the important things to do is to keep hydrated. While water is the ideal option, we can take advantage of the wide variety of fruits in season by pureeing them and chilling in the refrigerator so that we can refresh ourselves throughout the day.
