Icy Refresher

by Tina Basu
icy-refresher-1-1It’s hot hot hot in India. It’s hot in the day it’s hot in the night and no rains. A summer refreshing drink is what I need all the time. I have been guzzling down water like a shark! Plain water is boring and I hate drinking water. But then I thought of making a jug full of this refreshing drink and put it in the fridge. In anyways, these are much better options than the sugar laden aerated drinks that we keep drinking. I have stopped all aerated drinks FYI.
 
I also tried adding a little white run with it later to make a Sunday cocktail which tasted super yum! You can make your own renditions with it!
