If you have ever read my posts you know that I think cold coffee is a ridiculous abomination, but I understand how the heat of the day could lead some to stray from coffee perfection. However, I was recently told that drinking hot liquids on a hot day can actually have a cooling effect on the body. This sounded like good science to me. Unfortunately, the posts I have read suggest this is nothing more than an old wives tale.
Here is one example of a post-doc student arguing against the "hot drinks help you keep cool" theory.
Regardless of this "scientific" evidence I implore true coffee purists to celebrate hot coffee today even in the face of 100 degree plus temperatures. It is our duty as the carriers of the coffee flame.
PS: If you have more info about hot drinks on hot day, I would love to hear it.

fire within to = the fire without. learned that in egypt, where old men sit on outside all day drinking blazing hot tea. however, i love me an iced coffee. it's a whole different experience-- sort of like eating a frozen candy bar--totally different, just as enjoyable.
a hot drink in a hot day?? well now that I remember, I have heard that from someone that it can work, hot with hot eliminates the hotness, but I have not tried it yet, I prefer a cold drink
