Staying hydrated is very essential and it’s vital for our health. During summer keeping ourselves hydrated become more and more important. Nothing can beat water, the elixir of life. But at times we need to treat ourselves with some simple, delicious and refreshing drinks. I am back with one more khatta meetha sarbath and this time it is the kokum sarbath. :-)

It’s a sweet and spicy drink prepared with lemon/lime. It is known by different names like Shikanjvi, shikanjbi, shikanjbeen and also Nimbu Paani which means lemon water in Hindi.

Mango Chia Seed Pudding
This is a simple and a protein packed pudding prepared with mango puree, milk and with Chia Seeds.

But this time I just wanted to use mango and prepare this simple and yummy pudding recipe.
Nungu/Ice Apple Lassi with Lychee
I am back with one more lassi recipe. I have already posted Avocado Lassi and Spicy Tamarind Lassi. Here is one more sweeter lassi recipe prepared with Nungu or Ice Apple or Palm Fruit and lychee. This is a super refreshing lassi and with the dash of rose syrup it tastes heavenly and it’s a perfect summer drink.
Spicy Savory Tamarind Lassi
Monday, I posted sweet avocado lassi and today it’s time for salt and savory lassi. I love both salt and sweet lassi. I always prefer salt lassi especially with parathas. Here is one such tangy and spicy lassi flavored with chaat masalas – Spicy Tamarind Lassi. This is a savory/salt lassi prepared with yogurt and spiced up with chaat masalas along with tamarind and paprika.
Avocado Lassi
Avocado lassi is a smooth, rich and creamy yogurt drink prepared with avocado, yogurt and sugar with a hint of saffron and cardamom. It’s perfect summer recipe to quench your thirst and at the same time it is filling recipe too. Believe me, it is very filling. We (I and Preethi) were able to manage with this lassi without any other food. Here comes the recipe and the story behind the recipe. I cross posted this earlier at IMC. (Between, this week is going to be a lassi week. So stay tuned for the other delicious ones)
Thai Iced Tea
After a long time I am posting a Thai recipe. Here is the summer special cool Thai Iced Tea recipe. I prepared this Thai Tea with store bought Thai Tea mix, which I sweetened with condensed milk and sugar and topped it up with evaporated milk and with a dash of coconut milk, Usually the Thai tea is brewed first and then sweetened and just before serving the sweetened tea is added to the crushed ice and the milks are added after. I have included the video also.
