Loaded with the sweetness of ripe mangoes and a refreshing tartness from lemons, Mango Lemonade is a perfect drink to instantly rejuvenate you on a hot summer day. I have added to it, some mild spices like chaat masala and rock salt too to elevate its taste, if you wish, you can skip adding these and just make the plain mango lemonade; that will taste equally good.

Aam ka Panna is a popular Indian summer drink  made using raw mangoes, which is flavored with fresh mint and a subtle hint of spices. This drink is quite healthy, not only known for its cooling properties but also for its digestive health benefits. Coming to the recipe, aam panna is made in several different ways with every household having its own recipe. While some families make this traditional thirst quencher by roasting the raw mangoes while many households follow the age-old way of boiling the raw mangoes and then blending the pulp with handful of mint leaves, sugar and spices. What I am sharing with you today, is my family's heirloom recipe with some little modifications for all the ease and convenience; just for example, along with raw mangoes, I have also used one ripe kesar mango for a beautiful khatta-meetha flavor and color. Also, rather than boiling whole mangoes, I have peeled and cubed the mangoes before boiling which makes the entire process mess-free.

Lassi is a refreshing sweet summer drink that rejuvenates all your senses during the scorching heat.

As Chaitra Navratri festival is also starting tomorrow, this almond & rose lassi makes for a perfect treat to be enjoyed during the nine days of fasting. Do try and I am sure you are gonna love it!!
