Hello everyone… how is it going ….  Ya the weather is driving all of us crazy. Its too hot out there.The mercury is touching 99-100 F. I have something to calm you guys down.It’s nothing but watermelon lemonade.  The word watermelon takes me back to my school days when we (me and my sisters) used to enjoy this melon drink. We get it in tall glasses mixed with sugar but picking the black seeds was a Herculean task. Thank god!!!!! Now we get seedless watermelons. This summer drink is so refreshing that you will fall in love with it. Ya I’m not joking, this acts as a great coolant .It cools your tummy like anything. Not only that it can be served as a great drink for your grill or potluck party. It’s too easy, just chop the watermelons add in lemon and honey, blend and serve that’s it.You can add ginger if u prefer but I didn’t add because it’s already too hot outside so just wanted to cut the extra heat generated  in our body as ginger adds to body heat. Ok let’s get started.
