Pomegranate Mint Cooler | Summer Cooler

Day by day its being hot in Chennai and we long to quench our thirst with some juices.Due to adulteration in ready made juices i prefer homemade juices now a days.My son is a great fan of a branded pomegranate juice.Whenever we go for supermarket he use to pick few tetra pack for him.One day i made him fresh juice of it with my newly bought hand blender and he relished it well saying it taste soo good then store brought.From then he use to ask for this juice frequently.Its soo simple and taste awesome.I just added few mint leaves for extra freshness omit it if you don't prefer.
