Mint ginger cooler makes a refreshing drink for summer. It is ideal to serve as a welcome drink or a mocktail to beat the heat.
Summer is at it’s peak, one needs to keep hydrated by taking lot of fluids. Drinks that you can make easily are watermelon juice, coconut cumber cooler and lemon iced tea . Today, I am sharing a favourite recipe of mine, Mint Ginger Cooler
What goes in the drink?
Lemons are rich source of Vitamin C. They help to keep the body hydrated . They also aid in weight loss. They reduce the risk of anaemia, kidney stone, heart disease and cancer.
Mint: It is a great appetizer and aids in digestion, nausea and headache. It also helps to fight depression.
Ginger: It aids in absorption of essential nutrients. It helps to maintain normal blood circulation.
Sugar : It is one of the essentials in a juice. Otherwise, you need to replace with sweeteners.
Lemon: It is rich source of Vitamin C, helps to boost energy.
Water : It is the main ingredient that you need to mix all others into it.
