  • Hot chocolate milk

    Hot chocolate milk

    Hot Chocolate Milk is a comfort drink on a cold winter morning. It is ideal to serve  children who are fussy to drink milk in any form. It is a good to have hot chocolate milk after breakfast.

    Waking up to a nail biting chilly morning, I really hate that alarm sound which alerts me to start my day. Nothing is more comforting than a cup of hot beverage. Winter calls for hot and warm soothing drinks, hot chocolate drink is ideal for children, it is one of the drinks my children relish and is easy to prepare.

    Strawberry Lassi | how to make strawberry lassi

     

    Strawberry Lassi is a flavoursome, yoghurt based drink. It is refreshing during summer.

    Lassi is an ideal drink for summer.  It is a yoghurt based sweetened drink that is chilled and garnished with nuts. Strawberry Lassi is a flavourful summer drink that one  can easily make at home.

    The temperature is rising each day and thus we need to change our food habits. Fruits and fluids need to be taken in more quantities. Chaas, lassi and lemonades are gulped down easily.

    Here is a collective  post that I had written last year. Summer Delights  has some good recipes in it.

    Punjabi Lassi is one classic drink for summer, posted it earlier. Cucumber Lassi is a spicy variety, do give a try.

    Hubby bought rose lassi the other day. It was good and soon I was tempted to try making strawberry lassi. It was a refreshing drink which all of us enjoyed.

    • 1 teaspoon almond and cashew crushed
    • a little cardamom powder ( optional)
    • 250 ml cold water

    Method:

    • Wash and cut the strawberries.
    • Add sugar to it. Blend both together.
    • Add curd and whisk it again.
    • Put water and blend once again.
    • Pour in glasses, top with dry fruit powder and serve.

    Take a tip:

    • Use fresh curds.
    • Add sugar as per your taste, this measurement gives a not too sweet lassi which we prefer.
