Make the most of summer and avoid sweating in the kitchen by making heat-free foodstuffs to eat chilled.

Gazpacho: Summer soup eaten cold. 

1kg of tomatoes

4 inches of cucumber

a handful of chives

a clove of garlic

a couple of glugs of olive oil

a splash of white wine vinegar

Salt and pepper

Blend and fully chill.

Coffee ice lollies: these ones without milk, though milk reportedly works well too. 

Make a mug of strong and sweet coffee, then freeze in moulds.

By far my favourite of these frozen stuffs.

Summer Cooler Cubes:  a weird combination of savoury ingredients to put in a glass of water? A very refreshing combination.
