Can some one tell me the best thing to drink to get rid of your
thirst (exept alcohol)
I personally would go for tea (milk,no sugar)
Problem is it's a bit hot to be drinking in this hot weather.
So any suggestions?

Water with squeeze of lemon or lime, or sweet raspberry tea.

Lemonade

Heat one cup of sugar in a pot with one cup of water until dissolved
Add one cup of lemon juice (4-6 lemons)
Add another 4 cups of water and chill

for pink lemonade add some cranberry juice.

tonic water is good, the quinine in it is great for thirst

Mint Tea is great, also Green tea made not too strong.

Years ago I worked in Canada with an Italian road gang laying blacktop. These guys drank small cups of very sweet ice cold espresso to kill a thirst. I was drinking gallons of water without much success and one cup of sweet espresso did the trick.
