Not many phrases describe getting great
satisfaction from drinking something in the
hot weather than this famous one:
Quench the thirst.
To quench the thirst means to satisfy your
need for a cold drink during hot weather.
You can say to your friends or co-workers
that you need to quench your thirst. It is a
simple phrase to use, but a very good one to
express your feelings about needing a cold drink!
We don't usually use it for food. So make sure
you use 'quench the thirst' for cold drinks only.
Cold drinks such as cold green tea, cold
jasmine tea, juice or water quench my thirst.
Next time you come to Bella, you can say
'I need to quench my thirst! I need a cold drink
of water - It's hot!'
