The bright sun, golden haze, and warm air have me overjoyed! It's time for me to restart my daily swims and gorge on everyone's favourite fruit-mango. It is also the best time for the various summer pickles. The gourd vegetables are available in plenty and make for delicious stir-fries. Summer is truly a joyous time. Once summer vacation for the kids begins, we adults too get into holiday mode. However, I have only one complaint about this season: the heat kills my appetite. But don't worry if you too are feeling the same. I have just the cure! Ditch the ice-creams and colas, and have the following cooling drinks instead:
Jaljeera: A favourite in all households across India, jaljeera is a drink that replenishes your body with natural salt and micronutrients which are lost through sweat during the summer. I make this with roasted cumin seed powder, mint leaves, and fennel seed powder to cool me down.
Lemonade: My first choice is this simple concoction which is rich in Vitamin C due to the concentrated amount of lemon in it. The rock salt and roasted cumin seeds powder used work as excellent electrolyte stabilisers. Toss in some mint leaves, and you will get a better cooling effect. It is a no-fuss summer drink and will help you say bye to the heat.
