The Traditional Milkshakes that beat the heat

As I told last week's post we are situated in the tropical region and one of the hottest nations in the world. The climate of summer brings about plenty of sun and very hot temperature. Drink water and consume water-rich foods that excellent idea to survive in the heat. People here are traditionally made and took different types of cool drinks for that purpose. This is so because our body during summer losses a lot of liquid due to sweating and hence we should increase the intake of water. Hence, eating water-rich food in summer is healthy. For instance, you may consume water-rich fruits, vegetables, and other cool drinks.

Since our country is situated in a tropical region, South India—and Tamil Nadu in particular—offers a wide variety of bananas, such as Poovan, Rasthali, Sevvazhai, Karpooravalli, Nendran, Matti, Monthan, Peyan, and Robusta. Each variety is renowned for its own unique taste, color, and medicinal properties. It is for this reason that our ancestors created such refreshing drinks and passed down the recipes to us. Consequently, many milk-based beverages have become popular here; I take pride in introducing a few of them to you. Here is one such drink: Banana Milkshake.
