Bangalore has never been this hot, or may be this is what I say every year. My daughter is particularly fond of juices and i try and avoid as much as I can packaged juices. This recipe is for entire family , with little modifications it can be a cocktail, mocktail or a healthy fruit drink.
Kiwi, cucumber, lemon & mint all four are very refreshing and. The tangy kiwi, cool cucumber, soothing mint and energizing lemon when combined together we get a drink to pep up in hot summers. I added Chia seeds to the mocktail and it gives nice crunch to the drink.
This drink is also a perfect base for a gin based cocktail. I do not add chia seeds for the cocktail. Add gin and tonic water.
