Try These Drinks This Summer And Feel Good!!!!!

As summers’ already here we have to take special care to keep ourselves appropriately hydrated. This holds true especially for our kids. From my very personal experience, I realized that a few things are a must at home for the entire summer…. especially if you have a super energetic pre-teen at home like mine.

Sugar powder: You can either purchase it from the store or simply grind regular sugar in the mixer.

Sugar syrup: Equal parts of water and sugar boiled thoroughly and then cooled to room temperature. Once cooled, preserve it in a bottle.

Flavoured ice:

Tea flavour: Brew some tea leaves in water let it sit until cooled. Freeze it in the ice tray
Mint flavour: Thoroughly wash fresh mint leaves squeeze out the mint juice mix it with water and freeze.
Lemon flavour: mix some lemon juice in water and also some lemon rinds and freeze
Tulsi flavoured: put some fresh Tulsi leaves overnight in a copper container with water. Next day pour the water in the ice tray and freeze.

I keep these handy so that an instant drink can be made when required.

All you need to do is use any of these ice cubes in water and either use 2 tbsp of sugar powder or some sugar syrup (as per taste) and PRESTO… your tasty cool drink is prepared!!! These have a subtle taste which is lightly sweetened for instant energy!
