How cold can a cold drink get?

Have you ever wondered just how cold a cold drink can get? Whether it's a refreshing soda, a chilled iced tea, or a frosty smoothie, we all love sipping on a cold beverage, especially on a hot summer day. But have you ever wondered what happens when you push the limits and try to make your drink even colder? In this article, we'll explore the fascinating world of cold drinks and find out just how low temperatures can go.

The Science of Cold Drinks:

To understand how cold a drink can get, we need to dive into the science behind it. Most cold drinks are made by mixing water with various ingredients such as sugar, flavorings, and carbonation. Water has a freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), but the presence of other substances can lower this freezing point. For example, adding sugar or salt to water lowers its freezing point, allowing it to remain in a liquid state at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius.

Reaching the Lowest Possible Temperature:

The lowest temperature a cold drink can reach largely depends on the freezing point depression caused by the added substances. By using techniques like freezing or adding ice, it's possible to lower the temperature of a drink significantly. However, there are limits to how cold a drink can get without turning into a solid block of ice.

In typical household freezers, the temperature ranges from -15 to -20 degrees Celsius (5 to -4 degrees Fahrenheit). While this may seem incredibly cold, it's not the absolute limit. In fact, with the right equipment, such as laboratory-grade freezers or liquid nitrogen, it's possible to achieve even lower temperatures.

Liquid Nitrogen: The Chilled Champion:

Liquid nitrogen is a commonly used substance to achieve extremely low temperatures. It has a boiling point of -196 degrees Celsius (-321 degrees Fahrenheit), making it perfect for freezing things quickly. When liquid nitrogen comes into contact with a cold drink, it rapidly evaporates, absorbing heat from the surrounding environment and cooling down the beverage to incredibly low temperatures.

However, it's important to note that liquid nitrogen should only be handled by professionals in controlled environments due to its extremely cold temperature and potential hazards. It should never be ingested directly, as it can cause severe burns or other injuries.

Enjoying Your Cold Drink:

While it's exciting to explore the limits of how cold a drink can get, it's important to remember that the primary goal is to enjoy your beverage safely. Most household refrigerators and freezers can chill drinks to a refreshing temperature suitable for consumption. If you're curious about experimenting with colder temperatures, it's best to consult professional advice or find specialized equipment designed for freezing drinks safely.

Conclusion:

So, how cold can a cold drink get? While household freezers can reach temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit), achieving even colder temperatures requires specialized equipment like liquid nitrogen. Remember, the key is to enjoy your cold drink responsibly and prioritize your safety. So go ahead, grab your favorite chilled beverage, and savor its refreshing taste, knowing that the science behind its coolness adds an extra touch of fascination to every sip.

Yellow Goblin Tonic

We've all been there, snivelling and coughing, as hoarse as a goblin. This is my go-to cure for minor ailments like colds and coughs, which I drink at least twice a day when I'm feeling under the weather. This isn't the most delicious recipe I've written, but it's bound to give your immune system a kick!  Down the hatch!

You will need:

2 cups water

Juice of 4 big lemons

200g ginger root, peeled and chopped into chunks

1/2 cup honey or brown sugar

3 tsp turmeric powder (or 1 small turmeric root, peeled and chopped)

2 tsp cayenne powder

2 tsp ginseng syrup (optional)

Method:

Bring the water to a boil and add all your ingredients except for the honey. Boil on full heat for 3-5 minutes before bringing down to low heat.

Leave to simmer uncovered to reduce for 10-15 minutes, stirring periodically. If the mixture begins to dry out, top up with water.

Continue to simmer after the first top up and reduce until you are left with about one cup of concentrated liquid. It should be bright yellow and very potent!

Remove from the heat and strain the liquid into a bottle or jar. Add the honey and stir through thoroughly. Best served as concentrated shots, but also good when diluted slightly with half a cup of warm water per shot.

Been seeing some Eddie headcanons so here's one from me bc why not :)

I hc Eddie seriously prefers hot/warm foods over cold foods. He's the kinda guy who'd microwave his Uncrustable (for those who don't know, an Uncrustable is a pb&j completely wrapped in bread, like a ravioli and is most often eaten cold :) )

There's exceptions and he'd eat refrigerator cold things occasionally, like salad, bc warm salad is probably gross. Tho he'd have warm things in there, like chicken or something to balance it out.

He tends to pass on frozen foods, like ice cream. The only time he willingly eats ice cream is:

it's melted and is now a soup, or

Paired with something warm, like a warm brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (similar to how he adds warm food to salads)

I made a pumpkin spice cold brew coffee with cinnamon and whipped cream on top with a splash of chocolate syrup

Words can't describe how much I love the thought of somebody curled up on the couch, all bundled in their warmest clothes, holding a mug of tea between their hands like that warmth is the first they've felt in days.. and they've got a miserable cold
