Aah! Thanks for reminding me. When I was working in Chennai, Nannari sharbat was introduced during summers and people went crazy for it. Even Kulfi was a great respite.
Yea freespirit20, we started having it just coz it was a body coolant. But now loving it for its great taste. Sometimes we do add palm candy in it . So yummm
Lemonade, coconut water, aam ka panna, lassi, kokum sharbat.....we make sure to add at least one of these in our beat the heat list!
I started to take fenugreek seeds in empty stomach because of body heat. It cools our body. Lemon rice, Tender coconut water, buttermilk, watermelon also helps to beat summer.
soak moong dhal overnight n in empty stomach drink its water n eat the dhal.. it keeps our body cool..
Leftover rice soaked overnight in water with some salt and leave it on the countertop itself, don't refrigerate. Next morning crush the rice nicely, add some curd/buttermilk, mix nicely and drink. This is the best coolant :thumbsupfor the body - you can feel the chillness down your throat, so delicious it would be. You can also have with some chopped small onion in the side.
