Whether you're craving a creamy smoothie or a light, hydrating juice, we all seek that perfect thirst-quenching drink. Here's a roundup of some top-notch concoctions to whip up and stay cool to beat the summer heat.
1. Cucumber Mint Cooler
This cooler is a delightful blend of fresh cucumber and fragrant mint, with a hint of tanginess from lemon juice. It's light, hydrating, and perfect for quenching your thirst on a blazing hot summer day.
Ingredients:
Cucumber, mint leaves, lemon juice, sugar, black salt, water, ice cubes.
Method:
Blend together peeled and chopped cucumber, mint leaves, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and water until it is perfectly smooth. Strain this mixture to achieve an even consistency and drop in some ice cubes for an extra chill factor. You can top it off with a lime wedge or cucumber slices, and garnish it with a sprig of mint for an added refreshing touch.
2. Aam Panna
Aam Panna is a traditional Indian summer drink crafted from raw mangoes. It is a harmonious blend of sweetness and sourness with a touch of earthiness from the roasted cumin powder. The infusion of mint leaves adds a delicate herbal note, while black salt enhances the overall taste. This flavourful concoction captures the essence of summer in every sip.
