Icy Refresher

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!

Summers are really bad for body’s hydration level. One minute out in the sun means body losing a considerable amount of water. I hate going out in the summers because of this very reason. And always guzzling down water becomes boring after a few times. Who like plain water??
