Sabja Lemonade | Sweet Basil seeds Lemonade
Climate in Chennai is playing hide & seek sometimes hot and sometime cool.Mostly days are hot and day end are cool a bit with pleasant breeze.Although the temperature is not so as it was during peak summer but we feel a bit dehydrated in noon.So to chill my day time i go on with juices and lemonade.I had a pack of sabja seeds unnoticed for a long time which i actually bought to try falooda,another famous cold beverage in our country.These seeds which look like black sesame seeds has many good qualities.When soaked in water it becomes jelly like absorbing the water and gives a crunchy feel with bland taste. It is the best coolant and can be used in any cold drink.Made lemonade with this sweet basil seeds.

Blueberry milkshake with step by step pictures.
Here in Dubai i see variety of fruits and vegetables in almost all supermarkets/hypermarkets which I found rare in Chennai. The first thought that comes to my mind on seeing these fruits are to make some recipes for my blog and I guess most food bloggers will have the feeling like me. When i got a small box of fresh blueberries I made a milkshake with it and fully enjoyed it.

Fresh Grape Juice | Grape Juice with a touch of Lemon
Last Sunday while returning from church we had packed juice in a shop it was good.The next day problem started my daughter complained she is having stomach ache since she got up.I thought it must be some gastric problem,gave her medicine and send her to school.On returning she was totally in a fainted condition.When i took her to the doctor he said its food poisoning.I urged that we drank only canned/tetra pack juice,doctor said fungus mainly in it only and advised to buy fruits and make fresh juice.From that day we decided not to take any outside drink.Pl readers avoid street/packed juice and go with fresh homemade juice.
