It’s early in the morning and the sun is already beating down on the window pane. I check the clock and it’s barely 6 am. Wow! Where did the night go? A typical summer morning starts or rather we can call it our winter. I are scrambling to get the myself ready and get to work. The 3 year old is cruising at a leisurely pace and the baby is blissfully unaware of space and time. In my mind, I keep replaying previous evening's fun.....grilling in the backyard, a long walk afterwards under the starry summer sky and the exciting discussions about our upcoming travels. My brain is enveloped in a certain peace and quiet while the day-to-day chaos keeps churning around me. Is it the long days and short nights? Or, the heat and humidity? Is it the myriad get togethers with friends? Or, the fun trips and outings? Is it the endless hope and optimism? Or just, the boundless enthusiasm? Whatever it is, nothing can beat the Dry State of Mind! Ingredients: 1. 6 cups freshly made watermelon juice 2. ¼ cup fresh lemon/lime juice 3. Sugar (to taste if needed) 4. 1 cup crushed ice 5. Pinch of salt 6. Ice cubes (if desired) 7. Mint leaves(Pudina) How To Make: In a blender, put watermelon pieces and make 6 cups of juice. Mix the lemon/lime juice, salt and sugar (if needed). I prefer the natural sweetness of watermelon to flavor this dink but sugar can be added for extra sweetness. Stir well and add crushed ice. Serve over ice cubes for additional chill. Tips (1). Instead of regular ice cubes, you can use watermelon ice cubes to avoid dilution and for a more dramatic presentation. Just freeze watermelon juice beforehand ice trays. (2). Add a dash of vodka to make a watermelon cocktail. (3). Serve with some mint leaves or lemon rind on top of the glass for a beautiful presentation
