Exotic Elixirs


when the mercury soars, try some refreshing drinks. Here are some suggestions :-

Karkady
this tart red tea is popular in Egypt( it goes by other names in Mexico, Jamaica and spain)

Aam panna
On scorching days, Indians keep a pitcher of aam panna on hand. To make it, boil raw mangoes and bland the pulp with water, sugar, salt, chili powder, cumin and crushed ice. top with mint leaves. Try this at home :)

Horchata This ice drink was originally made in Mexican homes by grinding rice with a mortar and pestle.

Ayran A tangy mint drink u can find in any Mcdonalds in Turkey or simply make it yourself.

2 tbs. mint, chopped
2 tbs sugar
3 cups whole yogurt, plain
1 cup or more water
1. combine mint and sugar in mortar. Crush with pestle until they form a syrupy paste ( use a blender if you don’t have a mortar and pestle)
2. Combine yogurt and water until smooth and milky. Stir in into mixture and pour over ice. serves 6.
Enjoy this recipe^^
