Watermelon On the Rocks

Ingredients :

• 2 teaspoons Ice tea powder
• 1/2 glass Watermelon juice
• Lime juice
• Sugar
• Ice

Procedure :

1. Add water to the ice tea powder and stir well so there are no lumps.
2. Mix in the water melon juice, lime juice and sugar. Shake well.
3. Place ice cubes in a tall glass. Pour in the blend and serve chilled.

Variation

You can try out the same recipe with apple juice and honey instead of watermelon juice and sugar.

Please NOTE :

You need to check the sugar content in your ice tea powder and alter the water/sugar content accordingly. I used Nestea and was satisfied with the drink.

Choch O Chill O !

This drink is for all you chocoholics who want to beat the heat this summer, in style! Enjoy your Coffee on the rocks (rocks here refers to ice cubes please )

Ingredients :

• 3/4 Glass milk
• 1 tablespoon fresh cream
• 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
• 1 teaspoon coffee powder
• 2 teaspoons sugar

Procedure :

1. Blend milk, cream, sugar, chocolate syrup and coffee powder in a mixie jar. Now taste the mixture and add more sugar if required.
2. Pour chocolate sauce along the inner sides of a tall glass, leave some sauce at the bottom too. Place a generous amount of ice cubes inside the glass. Pour the drink into your chocolate laden glass and serve.

Please NOTE :

1. The milk and cream should both be chilled to get a good blend else the milk can make the cream split.
2. Serve the drink immediately after blending it. If it reaches room temperature it will make the ice cubes melt quickly making your drink dilute.
3. Since most of the space is taken up by ice cubes the drink you make with one glass measurement can actually serve two.
4. I used Bru instant coffee, Amul fresh cream and Hersheys chocolate syrup in this drink and was satisfied with the result.

Fruit Punch

Please don’t use aerated water if this Punch is being made for children. Substitute it with milk or plain orange juice and you will be happen to discover a creamy, yummy drink for those kids who don’t like milk!

Ingredients :

• 3 tablespoons of orange squash
• 1 tablespoon of fresh cream
• 1 tablespoon of lime squash
• 1/4 cup aerated water (optional)
• 3/4 cup milk

Procedure :

1. Blend milk, cream, orange and lime squash in a mixie jar. Taste the mixture and see if you get the flavor of orange. If no, please add some more orange squash and blend again.
2. Pour into a tall glass, add plain soda (milk/orange juice) and serve chilled.

Please NOTE :

1. You can add vanilla ice cream to the drink if you don’t have fresh cream.
2. You might need to check the taste towards the end and add some sugar. It depends on whether you used cream or ice cream and how sweet your squash concentrates are.
