    The temperature is soaring and one needs to keep well hydrated. Watermelon juice is the best drink for summer.  The Coconut Cucumber cooler is equally refreshing. Lassis are the Indian summer drinks which everyone can relate to. Cucumber lassi is spicy and tasty while the Punjabi Lassi is loved by all.  Here is a healthy mocktail  that you can make in just five minutes.

    What is mocktail?

    Mocktail is mixed, non-alcoholic drink usually served during parties.  Different kinds of mocktail are made, it is something similar  to a cocktail sans the alcohol.

    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.
