Enjoy summer with a cold drink 在炎热的夏季里，民众喜欢享用冰茶，柠檬汁，果昔和更多各式各样饮料来解渴。
by Lisa Holl Chang

In summer, nothing refreshes better than a nice cold drink, and people have a lot of choices.

Many reach for iced tea. In America, the drink first became popular in the South in the 19th century. There, people often add sugar while the tea is still hot and then chill it. This favorite Southern drink is called "sweet tea." In Asia, teas are traditionally served hot, but now tea stands offer iced teas as well. Customers can personalize their order, choosing just the right flavor and amount of sugar and ice.

In India, people enjoy a cooling drink called lassi, which is made with yogurt. This easy-to-make drink can be served sweet or salty, or with added fruit.

Throughout Latin America, people enjoy avena, which means oatmeal. Those who love the oatmeal drink claim it's healthy and delicious! And don't forget drinks made with fruit. In America, nothing says "summer" better than lemonade made from the juice of freshly squeesed lemons.

Smoothies,often made with fruit, milk and sugar mixed together, are favorites in both America and Asia.
