Whats more relaxing than a tall cool glass of thirst-quenching drink? Nothing! So I am sharing this utterly easy drink that I am have been sipping on all summer long. Apart from that, I am so happy with how the pictures for this recipe came out. I am trying to work on my food photography a bit these days.
