Cool Summer Drink

This week’s grocery shopping was done keeping in mind some food photography ideas I have been waiting to photograph. Only the good-looking vegetables and fruits got picked. I am hoping they will last 3-4days before they wilt and I cannot shoot them anymore. Till then they have been washed carefully and stored in the refrigerator at the lowest possible temperature. New Delhi is currently sweltering at about 43 degrees Celsius.

If you are wondering what is in the drink : juice of two “Newzealand Oranges” + one lemon / lime + 8-10 fresh mint leaves [ they were the hardest to prevent from wilting! ] two pinches crushed black pepper + 1 and a half teaspoon sugar + two pinches of salt + 10-12 ice cubes.

I also put in two slices of orange and one slice of lemon in the glass and whatever space in the 500ml glass was left, I topped off with water. Shook everything nicely in the shaker for a few seconds. Have it fresh – storing is a bad idea.
