Summer coolers

Summer is here with the searing sun in the daytime. The AC is now running all day for comfort. Those without air conditioners can suffice with the electric fan. Truly we are experiencing a hot summer that we hope would change the landscape of society regarding the present problem that the entire world is facing.

For us who are born and raised in this tropical country, we are used to the so called summer coolers. We have the halo-halo which is a mix of sweetened fruits in a glass that is topped by crushed ice with sugar and milk. There’s also the mango smoothie from the fresh mangoes. In the picture is my own summer cooler – sliced papaya with milk and sugar plus lemon drops.
