    With the hot summer picking up, it’s time to churn ice, squeeze some lemon along with a spoonful of Sugar and make the humble Lemonade (Indian Shikanji ) to beat the heat. Gone are the days when Fizz of the cola and other cold drinks were considered as the only solution to fight the scorching sunny day. As people become more and more health conscious, Cold drinks have been replaced by Cold-pressed juices. Alcoholic drinks are no more as cool as Non-Alcoholic drinks, natural coolants and special mocktails are filling the bar counter.

    Be it your Kids or your guests, you would definitely want to serve them a frosty sip of fresh lemonade to quench their thirst on one of these hot days.
