Carmen,
Blrnded leaves are part of the drink.
hi manjula aunty
it’s very good
The picture itself looks so refreshing. I have never made one but will soon. With the summer on and its around 42 degrees of temperature this drink is really required. Also, i think its muchhhh better that packed and can drinks.
Manjula, really some great recipes in here.

Thank you very much for this web site! Within the last year and a half I broke up with a very special Indian girl and was spoiled on a daily basis with Ayurvedic and traditional Indian cooking from her mother. I stupidly after almost three years never learned how to cook the food properly. Your site has been a savior to me! I take my laptop into my kitchen and it feels as if I have my very own personal chef. Thanks again.
Hi Manjula,
I am a frequent visitor of ur website. Your receipes are too good.
I love them.
Your website is like a bible for me
