Ice Ice BabY !

Well, as the Mercury is hitting high, and everyone is getting WET...err i mean HOT...here is something to make urself COOL !!!

Some Fruity Flavored Summer Drinks !

Two recipes for cooling summer drinks that are also healthy:

1. Pomegranate Sangria: It must be a rare foodie who hasn't heard of the sangria. But the famous import from Spain gets a pomegranate twist here. And pomegranate is after all known to be a major source of anti-oxidants.

Ingredients:

* 1,000 ml pomegranate juice
* 2 cups papaya or mango juice (substitute apple if necessary)
* 1 orange
* 6-8 strawberries
* 2 kiwis, if available
* 1 mango or papaya
* 1/2 cup sugar

Preparation: Mix juices and sugar until it dissolves. Wash orange and berries and cut into thin slices. Remove mango or papaya skin and cut fruit into chunks. Remove kiwi skin and cut into thick slices. Place all fruit into juice and let flavours blend in fridge for two-three hours or overnight before serving.

2. Pudina Chhaas: This one combines good old yoghurt with that relaxing flavour of mint.

Ingredients:

* Yoghurt: 250 gm
* Chilled water: 1 litre
* Cumin seeds: 1 tsp
* Ginger: 1" peeled and chopped fine
* Green chilli: 1 seeded and chopped
* Red chilli powder: 1/2 tsp
* Fresh mint: 2 tbsp, cleaned and chopped
* Crushed ice
* Salt: to taste

Preparation: Put the yoghurt in a food processor. Add ginger, salt, green chillies, chilled water and mix at high speed for about two minutes. Now, pour this mixture into individual glasses along with crushed ice. Serve it immediately, garnished with chopped mint, red chilli powder and freshly ground cumin powder.

Just go to any store like FFC, Safeer, Indian Super Market and search in the aisle where they keep squash, juice, drinks, Tang etc.. There you will see a glass or sometimes a plastic bottle with thick red syrup.. That is Rooh Afza.. The label says that with a picture of a fruit basket..
