Kolkata’s summer is only getting hotter, and the need to stay hydrated is of paramount importance. While drinking water straight out of the fridge is our usual solution, naturally cooled water is always welcome. Here are some options to keep your water naturally cool, be it at home or on the go

If you use 20-litre mineral water jars at home, then you either have a plastic dispenser or an electronic pump. Kept in the kitchen, you’ll often find the water at room temperature, which isn’t ideal during summers. These jars with taps come in different sizes — 5 and 10 litres. The price range varies from Rs 250 to Rs 300. These jars at home keep water cool all day long
If you are looking for something to keep your water cool on the go, plastic bottles are definitely not an option and steel bottles are often too heavy to carry. You can get earthen 1l water bottles that are perfect on the go. If you want something with a design, it costs Rs 250, and if you want a plain bottle it is available for Rs 150. Jugs for serving water at a table hold around 2.5 litres and costs Rs 300-350
