BUTTERMILK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chaas or buttermilk is one of the popular summer cooler made with yogurt, all over India with some variations. Chaas is made by churning yogurt (curds\/dahi) and cold water together in a pot, using a hand-held instrument called madhani (whipper). This can be consumed plain or seasoned with a variety of spices like asafoetida, fennel, ginger juice, curry leaves or coriander leaves. Buttermilk recipe >><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

JALJEERA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jal jeera or jaljira is a refreshing, traditional Indian summer drink with health benefits. The unique flavour of this summer drink is the jaljeera powder where spices like roasted cumin, black peppercorns, cloves, black cardamom and black salt are ground to a fine powder and added to a paste of fresh mint and coriander leaves. Fresh mint and coriander leaves impart a refreshing fragrance and flavour. Traditionally, tamarind is used to make jaljira but one can use lemon juice too. Unsweetened boondi (made with chickpea flour) makes for a beautiful and tasty garnish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUGARCANE JUICE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ever popular indian juice to quench your thirst and give you a boast of energy. Excellent for jaundice and has digestive properties, thirst quenching and keeps the body hydrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AAM PANNA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aam panna is a very popular drink more so because mangoes are in season only a few months of the year. This refreshing drink is made using raw mangoes which are a rich source of vitamin C and also contain antioxidants which prevent us from several diseases. In addition to this, the drink has a cooling effect on the body and prevents one from a heat stroke and dehydration. This makes it quite healthy and tasty too. The spices added further enhance the flavour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LEMONADE OR NIMBU PANI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the cheapest summer drink but lemonade is surely very effective in beating the summer heat. Apart from being a rich source of vitamin C, lemon also has vitamin B, riboflavin and minerals like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium. Just take some chilled water, add little sugar and salt to it and squeeze a lemon in it and you have your lemonade. Spicy lemonade recipe >><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heavier version of buttermilk, Lassi has been a part of the cuisine of northern India for a long time, and for various reasons. It is a nutritious drink that helps you maintain the perfect body temperature in hot summer days. Cardamom powder, rose water and saffron can also be added to give your lassi an altogether different taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
