MINT LEMON JUICE | SUMMER COOLER RECIPES

 Mint lemon cooler, i have tasted this first time at a cousin's place in chennai. When we went to her house she served us with this mint lemon juice. On seeing the vibrant green colour in a glass, i was bit reluctant to drink this as i felt it will be too strong. Turned out to my surprise, it tasted so awesome. Shamelessly, i asked for one more serving and relished every sip of it. Last week when i was picking fresh mint leaves from the market, this mint lemon juice flashed into my mind, and since the summer is in peak i thought it will be a refreshing one for the summer. Got the exact recipe from her made it and we all enjoyed this . A perfect party starter too.
