A refreshing drink is all what we need to break fast if the day is too hot!This is a real thirst quencher!Very much apt for the hot summer days!The freshness from the orange juice and light sourness from the strawberry with a touch of lemon and mint with looots of ice !Oops sorry if you are craving to have this.
Here there are teeny tiny pieces of orange and strawberry,so the name crush!I love to add fizzy drinks to such soothing juices.If you are some one like me go for it,the real wow it is. Muddle the strawberry along with some sugar, lemon and water and for orange just blend in a juice machine along with sugar and lemon. Then layered it in the glass along with ice.
Addition of mint gives extra freshness to the drink.Crush it with your hands and add it along with tiny pieces of oranges.If you don’t like that bite just skip it. Kids also relished it.
Can you see that soda effect!Heavenly it was
