(Note) – Recipe of simple syrup –

• For simple syrup –
  Ingredients –
  1/2 cup water

1/2 cup sugar

• Put I/2 cup of water in a small saucepan and bring to boil on high heat .Add sugar stir well. Cook until sugar completely dissolved.
  Remove from the heat. Let it cool down completely. Store in a fridge. Use as required.My mom tip –
• Use fresh and red colored watermelon for good and healthy drinks, because the sweetness of recipe depends upon how sweet and red watermelon are.Taste it to check the sugar lemon proportion. If you find some sugar or lemon is inadequate, add as required.
• If you don’t want to make simple syrup for any reason just skip it and add powdered sugar instead of sugar syrup.(For powdered sugar – just grind sugar to fine powder in a grinder. Powdered sugar is ready to use.)

That’s all for the day we shall come very soon with some refreshing summer cooler.
We are signing off.
