In Ayurveda, cooling isn’t just about temperature - it’s about effect on the body’s internal systems (called 𝙫𝙞𝙧𝙮𝙖, or energetic potency). Ice-cold drinks can actually aggravate Pitta and disturb digestion, especially in hot weather. Sip warm mint tea, coconut water, aloe vera juice, amla juice, coriander phanta, and rose and lime infusion instead.
