Summer drinks!

Best drinks for summer require no preparation.. like coconut water, nimbu paani and buttermilk. Then there are the following ones.. to add more protein/goodness of chia/buttermilk variations.

 

All-day Refreshing Drink

  • Water – 1.5 Litres
  • Chia Seed – 2 Tbsp
  • Black Salt – 1 Tsp
  • Chaat Masala – 1 Tsp
  • Honey – 2 Tbsp or as per taste
  • Juice of 2 Lemon
  • Mint Leaves - Few
  • Beetroot – ½ Medium

Mix all the ingredients and let the water sit for 30 mins so that the chia seeds plump up.

Good for skin.

Hydrating Mint Drink

  • Mint leaves
  • 1/2 tsp jeera (cumin seeds)
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Soaked chia seeds
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • A pinch of salt
  • Little bit water to blend

Blend until smooth.

Slice cucumbers and place them in a glass. (I think I will add the cucumber directly to blender)

Add the blended jeera honey mixture to the glass along with soaked chia seeds

Add water, and stir well.

Curry leaves Lassi

  • 1 cup yogurt
  • curry leaves
  • cumin seeds (jeera)
  • coriander leaves
  • 1 green chili, chopped
  • 1-inch piece of ginger
  • Salt to taste

In a blender, add all the ingredients & blend!


Protein-rich Sattu Drink

  • 1/4 cup sattu powder
  • 1 cup yoghurt
  • pudina leaves/powder
  • roasted cumin powder, black salt
  • water 1/2-1 cup

Bel Sharbat

  • 1 Bel/wood apple
  • black salt, roasted cumin
  • 2 tbsp jaggery powder
Take out the pulp and soak for an hour. Sieve the contents and blend with some water, jaggery, salt and cumin.


Watermelon Cooler

Most ingredients are predictable, but I like the idea of adding chia seeds/gond katira to it.
  • watermelon pulp - blend to make the juice
  • salt, mint leaves, lemon juice
  • soaked chia seeds/gond katira
