Rose Lemonade /Rose Lemonade with Sabja Seeds

As my kids love the rose flavored beverages,I tried this lemonade last week as the temperature were in 90s. To make it more healthy I added soaked tukmaria /sabja seeds.The lemonade was so refreshing with the flavor of  rose syrup and the goodness of lemon. Making this drink is pretty easy if you have all the ingredients.Here I mixed the sugar in the water and made the drink. No proportions are measurements need to be perfect,just add them how you would like to have.As my kids prefer slightly sweeter version I added an extra spoonful of sugar.                                                                                                                                                                                  Rose Lemonade                                                                         Basic Information    Preparation time 10 minutes    Soaking time 25-30 minutes     Cooking time No cooking time    Serves 2

Lemon rice - Version 2/Lemon rice with Carrot and Black eye beans

After couple of months break,I am participating in Blogging Marathon.Entering the 3rd week of the blogging marathon 77th edition with picnic hamper theme.
