In ancient Egypt, kitchens were an integral part of the household. While they may not have had built-in wine coolers and beverage fridges like we do today, they had their own unique ways of keeping their drinks cool. Egyptians used clay pots filled with water and placed them in a shaded area to keep their beverages cool. They also used natural refrigeration techniques such as burying clay pots in the ground, where the evaporation of water from the pots would create a cooling effect. These methods allowed them to enjoy refreshing drinks even in the hot Egyptian climate.
