In the hot summer, when you don’t want to go out, a refreshing drink can dispel the sultry heat, make people calm, and instantly open up a small world of staying at home to escape the heat. The cicadas are beginning to chirp in summer. What kind of magical cold drink is available in your home for a limited time?





01 Cold brew white tea and lychee drink

Xiaoxingxing recently discovered that she is getting closer and closer to the Eastern lifestyle: she likes incense sticks more than scented candles, drinks less coffee, and falls in love with the elegant and slow tea. It is the lychee season. The hot lychees and the slightly cool white tea complement each other, making you feel elegant at home and refreshing.






The white tea soaked in spring water is refrigerated in advance and slowly released overnight. The fragrance permeates the water and spreads to the nostrils. The crushed lychees release the sweet juice even more. Add cold brew white tea and add an ice ball to preserve the freshness of the pulp and tea soup, allowing the blended flavors to slowly reveal themselves.






02 Four Fruit Soup

Every Hokkien person cannot do without the refreshing and sweet Four Fruit Soup in summer. In the past, you could easily find specialty snacks just by wandering around the streets. However, it is more difficult to find authentic snacks in a foreign country. Only by selecting, cooking, and processing the ingredients yourself can you truly evoke the taste of your hometown deep in your heart.





The "four fruits" are not just four fruits, including cooked lotus seeds, mung beans, red beans, barley, white fungus, and stone flowers. You can also add watermelon, pineapple, mango and other fruits. The best thing among them is adazi (similar to taro balls), which is elastic and smooth after being cooked.

The "soup" is not soup. It is topped with shaved ice and topped with a spoonful of southern Fujian's unique sugar water.





03 Chilled watermelon

The happy moment of living in a fruit-rich province is that you can easily buy 3 watermelons for 10 yuan on the roadside in the summer, and then cool them after one night in the refrigerator. "Ah! It's great to grow up, and you can be at home." Eating iced watermelon without sitting still."





After eating the watermelon, it’s time to read. As an INTP, Xixi really likes to be alone. From time to time, she draws a clear line with the world, keeps a distance, and enjoys her own time and space. Her energy does not come from asking for help from others, but from continuing to seek within.





04 Perfume lemon tea

Make black tea, slice the perfumed lemon into slices and "beat it up", then get a bowl of pre-made ice cubes, pour it into the cold kettle, and the lemon strong tea from childhood is recreated in the air.





Two chairs, a small table, and a simple big glass of iced drink, surrounded by my favorite music, while the branches outside the window swayed very slowly, very slowly, very slowly... At this moment, Yuanzi is relaxed physically and mentally and enters this summer quietly.





In summer, the days are ripe and long enough
My mood follows everything and everything, blooming and traveling freely
Jianze drinks happily with you, keeping your body and mind refreshed
