Summer time again. And here is a chilled and refreshing drink for you.
A perfect drink to beat the heat. This non alcoholic drink is perfect for your party. A delicious mocktail for kids and non drinkers.
You can make the drink and store in refrigerator. Mix soda water and ice just before serving.

Virgin mojito with watermelon and Fanta
Refreshing flavour of green tea, mint, ginger and lemon, sweetness of grapes and cooling properties of cucumber makes this drink superbly delicious.
I have added little ginger in it but if you don’t like you can omit. Or you can increase the amount of ginger if you like.
Recipe

Notes
1. I like natural Sweetness so I didn’t add any sweetener. You can add honey or sugar if you want.
2. You can add little more black salt if require.
3. You can increase or decrease the amount of mint and ginger as per your taste.

i think combining green tea and grapes was one of the best ideas of this week. It’s healthy and adds a tang to the green tea that some people find difficult to sip (including me π ) Love this!
