I love real iced tea, I brew a pot of green tea at work every day then I throw it in the freezer, right before it freezes I drink it. Sooo refreshing!

with the promise of an "Indian summer " this year you might like to try this !
Mint and Cumin Water
This is a popular street drink during the Indian summertime - you won't find it during the winter. The cumin - which tastes best if you roast it and grind it yourself - adds a delicious hint of spice. It's also very cooling and people find that it settles the stomach.
Serves 1
Preparation time: 10-12 minutes
Ingredients
2 x 20g packs fresh mint
juice of 2 limes
½ tsp ground cumin
pinch of salt
1½ tsp sugar
soda water or sparkling water, well chilled
mint leaves and lime, to garnish
Instructions
Put the mint, stalks and all, into a blender with the lime juice and blitz to a purée. Press the purée through a sieve into a bowl and discard the mint debris. Add cumin, salt and sugar, adjusting the quantities to suit your taste. Fill a tall glass with crushed ice, pour over the minty liquid and top up with soda or sparkling water. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of lime to serve.

The most thrist quencing liquid is water, obviously, as way too many people have already pointed out. But the best takting drink in the entire world is old fashioned sweet tea (with ice of course). You have to buy Luzianne tea bags though, not Lipton. Lipton is made up north where they don't put sugar in their tea (nasty) so it doesn't work as well. Luzianna is made in the deep south, where unsweetened tea is unheard of, so their tea leaves work well with sugar. The greatest thing about tea is that it won't leave you still thirsty afterward. It is the only drink, other than water, that I can drink and not feel more thirty afterwards.

WATER! This is because;
1/. We have evolved over billions of years, through millions of species, to use water,
2/. We use a process called HYDROLYSIS, which translates as "water splitting", to break down sugars during digestion. This takes more water to achieve than is contained in the amount of pop or cola that you drank, so you end up needing more water after awhile to digest the sugars in the pop, so you drink more pop, & then use more water, etcetcetc. You can get dehydrated if the only thing you drink is pop.

When it's really hot...
drink a cold glass of water together with strong tea without milk (Turkish tea) or Moroccan style mint tea.
How to make mint tea..
Make a pot of strong tea and add a handful of mint leaves with sugar(optional).
How to make Turkish tea...
Put tea leaves in a small saucepan and simmer it for 10 mins.
They were really quenching when I travelled in Tunisia and Turkey in very hot summer.

Are we speaking of subjective quenching or physiological?
Obviously what your body wants when you are thirsty is nothing other than H2O, but for me it's an ice cold beer for that aaahhh! sensation.
