Story Time
Jatin is passionate about making cold beverages or mocktails at home. He tried so many recipes using different fruits and veggies. During the summertime, he would always make some cold beverages while we have our dinner. It feels fancy and makes dinner on a hot summer day really enjoyable and romantic. Every time he would mix some fruit, lemon juice, salt, black salt, maple syrup, and soda and a new drink is ready. He has so many ideas that it feels like I am sitting in a restaurant and getting to try a new beverage every time.
Like I always say, homemade is the best. Making it is extremely simple and easy and you are ensured of good quality ingredients too. So, instead of buying syrup or squash from the stores, try making these healthy beverages at home for yourself, your family, and your friends.
What is a Mocktail?
Mocktail is a drink, a cold beverage that is made without using any alcohol. A cocktail on the other hand is a drink that requires alcohol in it. Mocktails are very popular in India since we have many people who do not prefer to consume alcohol there. That is why you can easily find different kinds of fancy mocktails there.
What is Ice Tea (or Iced Tea)?
As the name suggests, Ice Tea or Iced Tea is tea with ice. It is a cold beverage that you can make with any kind of tea – black tea, fruit tea, herbal tea, green tea, yogi tea, etc. You just need to brew some tea without milk, add some flavors of choice like lemon, strawberry, peach, blueberry, etc., some sweetener, and ice, and that is it. Your refreshing summer drink is ready to be slurped.
These days you get store-bought iced tea also in cans, bottles, and even in powdered form which you can simply mix in water and drink. But are they really healthy to drink? These ready-made, store-bought cold drinks are always loaded with sugar and nasty ingredients. So, it is better to stay away from them. On the other hand, making iced tea at home is so much easy and quick that you really don’t need to buy it from the stores.
What is a Lemonade?
Lemonade, as the name suggests consists of lemons. It is a summer drink or a cold beverage that is very popular during the summer season. Lemons are refreshing and a summer drink that is made with chilled water, ice, sugar, and some lemon juice in it charges you up and helps to beat the scorching summer heat. A cold and refreshing summer drink made with lemons is called lemonade.
You can add any fruit juice to it like orange, peaches, mango, kiwi, pomegranate, etc., and make a fruity-flavored lemonade. Please try our orange lemonade. It tastes just so soothing and the fragrance calms you down and refreshes you on a hot summer day.
Is lemonade the same as nimbu pani?
Yes. Of course. Lemonade in Hindi language is called Nimbu Pani. It is made with cold water, sugar, and lemon juice. It is one of the most popular summer beverages in India during the summer season. Such a refreshing drink cools you down and rejuvenates you from the scorching summer heat.
In lemonade, you may or may not add any soda. In Nimbu Pani, there is no soda. It is made just with water.
How to Store Homemade Peach Sauce?
Store the homemade peach sauce in a clean air-tight container. Refrigerate and use for up to 2 weeks.
Can we freeze the Peach sauce?
Yes. Of course. When peaches are in season, you can make a big batch of this sauce and store it in the freezer for months. Just thaw before use.
You can even pour it into an ice cube tray and freeze it. That way it would be easy to make a drink.
