Is mint dry or fresh?
Fresh is good. Fresh mint is soaked in water, washed and put in a basket to drain water, so that even if it is dry, it will go bad and still have a strong coolness.

If you don't like to drink ice water, you can also soak mint in boiling water, so that the essential oil of mint will be soaked out at once. Although drinking hot water in summer will make you sweat, there will be a cool feeling in your heart, which will not affect sweating.

Fresh mint leaves can be used to make tea or soak in water directly, which can not only cool off the heat, but also refresh the mind. You can drink more in summer, especially in hot weather.
