Despite the sweltering summer days, enjoying a hot beverage like a cup of coffee on the porch remains a cherished routine for many. While it may seem counterintuitive, consuming something hot on a warm day can actually help cool you down. This is because raising your body temperature signals your brain to initiate cooling mechanisms. So, while chilled gazpacho is a summer favorite, hot soups still hold their appeal.
