We're all guzzling more water as the temperatures soar. But, let's face it, it's infinitely more refreshing when it's ice-cold.

Nothing beats the bliss of a frosty beverage on a scorching day, yet keeping drinks cool while out and about can be a real hassle. Fortunately, a TikTok sensation has gone viral by showcasing a nifty trick to keep your water chilled.

It's a game-changer for those sweltering summer days when staying hydrated becomes crucial. The clever hack was posted by the ingenious kate_cleanhome – and it's gone down a storm.

The viral snippet shows her ingeniously filling half of her reusable water bottle and laying it sideways in the freezer. This simple action freezes the water on one side of the bottle.

Once solidified, you top up the rest with fresh water and voila – you've got yourself an oversized ice cube hugging your drink, keeping it icy throughout the day.

It might be a straightforward technique, but it's causing quite the stir online. People are marvelling at its simplicity and effectiveness, declaring it nothing short of brilliant.

Since hitting the internet, the clip has racked up a staggering number of views, with commenters eager to express their admiration for the hack. Some confessed they've been doing it for ages, while others hailed it as sheer "genius".

One user exclaimed: "Wow – this is really amazing." Another was astounded, writing: "This is so smart – omg."

A third chimed in with: "This is actually so smart." A fourth also shared their personal success: "I love this. I tried it, and it's so nice."

Drinking plenty of water is widely known to be beneficial, and there's good reason for it. The Eatwell Guide suggests that individuals should aim to consume six to eight cups or glasses of fluid daily.

Water, lower-fat milk and sugar-free beverages, including tea and coffee, all count towards your daily intake. It's worth noting that you may need to increase your fluid intake if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, in a hot environment, engaging in prolonged physical activity or recovering from an illness.

When it comes to children, the NHS recommends water and milk as the best options. Now, with this clever cooling trick, you can ensure your drinks stay refreshingly cold.

Don't make the mistake of not drinking enough this summer. Fill up your bottle and ensure sure you always have it with you!
