Have a Cool Drink Anytime
If you need something cool to drink, just submerge your drink in a bowl of ice water with a little salt. The temperature of the drink will drop several degrees in just a couple of minutes. Begin by pouring water into a bowl. Make sure there is enough water to submerge your can or bottle. Next, add ice. The amount of ice in the bowl should be equivalent to the amount of water. Sprinkle two tablespoons of salt into the ice water and stir. Then, submerge your drink in the ice water. Wait one minute. Then, stir the contents of the bowl. Wait an additional minute. Subsequently remove your drink from the bowl. You will have a chilled refreshment to quench your thirst.
