I've been doing everything in my powers to keep myself cool. Mom keeps telling me about all the cool things to Eat, Drink and Do in Summers. Here is a compilation of the same.
Virgin Mojito:
Yeah it's the same drink that's available at the local KFC for 45 bucks. why shell out Rs.45 for one glass when you can make it yourself in about 30 bucks!!!
What you'll need:
- 1 500ml bottle of Sprite/ 7up
- Some Mint leaves (6-8 leaves per glass should be enough)
- 1 Lemon
- Some Ginger
- ICE!!!
- Salt
- A Pestle
- A Plastic Cup
- 2 glasses
What to do:
- Cut the lemon in 2 halves also cut some really thin slices out for the garnish.
- Run one half over the brim of the glasses that you'll use to serve the drink.
- Spread some salt in a plate and roll the brim of the glass in it.
- Squeeze the remainder of the lemon in the plastic cup. Don't let the seeds fall in there.
- To the lemon juice in the cup, add the mint leaves and ginger and using the churner press the flavor out of them.
- Pour the concoction in the 2 glasses equally. You may leave the mint leaves in if u like; they taste good.
- Add Sprite to the 2 glasses.Be careful not to touch the brim of the glass. the salt makes Sprite fizz (Basic Chemistry).
- And Viola! Ur Virgin Mojito is ready.
- Add a generous amount of Ice and Garnish with a sprig of Mint and a slice of Lemon.
- Enjoy the drink with a loved one on a summer afternoon after lunch!!!
