Tulasi Tea | Tulasi Kashayam | Immunity Booster Drink
September 15, 2020
Drinks
-
Tulasi Tea or Tulasi Kashayam is a wonder drink made with super simple ingredients. I would say Tulasi is a miracle herb. It is nothing but holy basil. It has a strong and refreshing flavour with loads of health benefits. It is perfect for common cold and flu. There are many varieties of tulasi, but the one we get here is Greek Basil. Have attached a pic of my plant, do have a look if interested. U can call this tea, though I have not added tea leaves/powder here, or kashayam or herbal health drink. Trust me this is such a refreshing drink to boost your immunity. Check out the quick video below..

Strawberry is not a fruit that I fancy eating much, just because they are sour most of the times. But love the look and flavour of it. So always transform the fruit into a sorbet or popsicle as I have already done. This season made a simple Strawberry Milkshake which is a very easy & yummy milkshake with very few ingredients. This is a thick and creamier milkshake as I have used ice cream as well. U can skip the ice cream if u dont prefer it. Also made Strawberry Ice Cream, recipe coming soon 🙂

White Pumpkin Juice – Ash Gourd Juice

Drinks, Pumpkin/White Pumpkin, Summer Special
-
It is scorching summer in India and it is fairly warm here too. Beginning this summer season with a simple drink or rather I would say it is a coolant. Much needed for the season! This White Pumpkin Juice or Ash Gourd Juice is a perfect drink to keep u hydrated. White Pumpkin known as Vellai Poosanikai/Thadiyanga in tamil is usually used to make kootu. If you are a Chennaite you woud have noticed these precious veggies being smashed on the road on Ammavasai days! 🙁 This Juice is a not only a very healthy one but also popular among a weight loss diet menu.

Fresh juices, ice creams & milkshakes are the need of the hour now. Especially in Chennai, the heat waves have not gone down yet. This Carrot Orange Juice is an easy and refreshing juice to beat the heat. Chotu is a big fan of orange juice. Any sort of fizzy/aerated drink is a big NO at home. Chotu does not like them either. Not much fancy ingredients are needed here. So enjoy this simple and refreshing drink. Check my other summer treats HERE!

Homemade Rosemilk – With Homemade Rose Syrup
April 27, 2017
Drinks, Summer Special
-
Rosemilk brings back a lot of childhood memories. We used to make Rosemilk with Roohafza syrup. Am not sure if that is still available in the market. As a child, I thought that was Homemade Rosemilk. Trust me, making Rose Syrup at home is not a big deal. Moreover it does not contain any preservatives, making it a much better option than the store bought ones. I made Rosemilk Popsicles earlier. U can make this Rosemilk and pour it in popsicle moulds and enjoy too. If u ask me, I would not be patient enough to let it freeze and would simply slurp it with a straw 🙂

Panagam or Panakam is a traditional drink made especially on Rama Navami. It is a Hindu festival celebrating the birth of Lord Rama. As Rama Navami falls on the 5th of April, thought of posting this traditional recipe. This is a child hood favourite. My grandma used to make this for her daily pooja as a prasad, especially during summer time. It is a perfect thirst quencher too. The addition of cardamom and ginger powder gives a divine taste to it.
