Description
The on going summer heat just wants me to have more and more liquid’s alone. My mind for sure is working wonders with mock tails which is so perfect to beat the hot heat. All I had in my refrigerator was one guava and one pear. I had to come up with a mock tail with theses two fruits. I love incorporating every day flavors into a mock tail. It brings a surprise element yet the taste is familiar and comforting. This mock tail combines two of my favorite fruits guava and pear. It couldn’t get better right? I bought in the trademark Indian twist by an addiction of jaggery and spices which suits me as I love bold flavors. This reflects my love for using our Indian every day ingredients in a really interesting way bringing a new challenge to find ways to use them, leaving way for a journey of a thousand dishes….. Coming to the mock tail.. Its brilliant coolness and thirst – slaking qualities helps replenish all the energy lost in the sweltering heat and instantly restores all the energy lost in the heat. Takes little time to make and even less time to polish it off. Happy mock tini to all…
