Boil water. I understand why, because they didn’t have well developed public works 30 years ago, but that’s changed now. Similarly, there’s also this culture around drinking hot water and a general tendency to avoid cold things.
Also a lot of older people like to use steamers to reheat food. They aren’t used to using microwaves. Not really funny though, because it does make some food more tasty and I started doing that.
In some parts of Brazil, we drink hot black coffee even when the weather is scorching hot. Idk why we do that, even ourselves are aware that it doesn’t make much sense, but we keep doing it, myself included. I guess we just love coffee like that.
This is not uncommon where I’m from, the logic is that drinking a hot beverage makes your internal body temperature rise, resulting in increased blood circulation, which in turn helps you cool down faster.

I recently learned about this. I wonder if ppl also tell you to drink hot water when its really hot outside?

it is known that hot liquids cool the body (access to air circulation to properly engage human evolutionary advantage of sweat glands required)
It’s from when sweat actually evaporated, helping cool the body.
