Nimbu Pani – The Most Popular Summer Drink
A rich source of Vitamin C and B this beverage is popular for its refreshing quality and an excellent energy source. You can make lemon juice with salt, sugar or a combination of both. I would say just make some lemonade and put it into your refrigerator for the day. Not only will you finish you days quota of 8 glasses of water, you would also end up having little hassles.
Chaas And Lassi – Nutritious Summer Drinks
Known as buttermilk, curd is blended with some water and spices and stored in an earthen pot for a cooling effect. It is a popular coolant that is a thirst quencher as well as aids digestion. Buttermilk is rich in calcium and is also enriched with good bacteria found in curd. I add corriander and a pinch of moringa powder just to make sure my kiddos get the goodness of some iron and selenium too.
Lassi
Lassi is a protein-rich drink which is made with fresh curd and can be sweet or kept salty. This yummy summer cooler is a drink thicker compared to chaas. You can add different flavours to this wonderful drink adding fruits such as strawberry, banana and apple.
Jaljeera
Jeera is one spice I could never stop praising. It has so many health benefits especially for women and weightloss too. Jaljeera is basically a mix of water and cumin (Jeera) and is mostly tangy on spicy depending on the spices (black pepper and fennel) added to it. This popular beverage is famous for its cooling properties and also acts as an appetizer.
