☀️ Surviving the Heatwave: The Coffee Test! ☕️
With the UK in the grip of a scorching heatwave, finding ways to stay cool has become a top priority. So, in the name of science and a good brew, I decided to test whether hot or iced coffee is the best way to beat the heat!
First up was the classic hot double flat white. Despite the early hour, my flat was already feeling like a sauna. The hot coffee was supposed to trigger sweating, which would cool me down. Sadly, it just made me feel hotter! While it provided my much-needed morning caffeine kick, it didn’t help with the heat.
Next, I tried an iced coffee. Picture this: a cool glass filled with ice, a shot of espresso, and a splash of oat milk. The moment I took a sip, I felt instant relief. The chilling sensation of the cup was refreshing, and I savoured every sip. The iced coffee was a clear winner, leaving me feeling far more refreshed than its hot counterpart.
Conclusion? While some swear by hot drinks to regulate body temperature, I’ll be sticking to iced coffee during these sizzling days. To those who can handle the heat with a hot drink, I salute your bravery! For me, I’ll be clutching my cold brew while the sun shines on. 🌞🥤
