summer drinks!

Its really hot these days, having a cooling drink especially in the afternoons is so welcome. My kids look forward to these when they get back after a hot n humid day at school...


1. Sprite n lime drink
I just add about 1.5 tsp lime juice (kalamansi limes here) to one glass of cold sprite. Add some black salt or white salt. I like more than just a pinch, but add as much as your taste buds prefer. Stir it completely. Garnish with fresh mint (pudina) leaves or dry ones from shelf....Its just so refreshing...my kids love this drink.. Try it on guests...


2. Yogurt and cucumber drink
Take 3/4 glass of yogurt add about 1/4 cucumber (seeds removed), 1/2 chilli, some black salt (you can add roasted jeera powder too) and blend it in a blender, till they are all mixed. Garnish with roasted Jeera. enjoy it on a hot day!


For variation add green or red capsicum instead of cucumber or Cucumber with coriander.
