Watermelon Thandai(Cooler)



This recipe originated in a very funny or you can call weird manner. Every time i used to get a watermelon, after everyone has eaten to their heart's desire and nobody even wanted to look at it.
The half watermelon would tease me, every time i open the refrigerator.
I don't believe in wasting food. so came into existence this drink.
Enjoy it on a cool summer day or just like me when you have left over watermelon which nobody wanted to touch. I promise you once you put a glass of watermelon cooler in front of your loved ones;their is no looking back.

Ingredients:
Watermelon : 2 cups
Lemon Juice: 1 Tbsp
Salt: 1/2 tsp
Rock/Black Salt: 1/2 tsp(you can find it at any South Asian grocery store)
Freshly crushed black Pepper: a pinch
Crushed ice: Optional

Blend all the ingredients really well, so that their are no big pieces. Strain the juice and chill it for 1/2 hr.
Before serving taste the juice and add more salt and lemon if needed.
When serving add some crushed ice and enjoy.
A sugar free and all natural drink.
