Well summers have officially arrived in India. Temperatures are soaring each day. In-spite of the heat Indians never fail to enjoy the lovely dishes made during this season.

You can also enjoy refreshing beverages like

Today's drink is a chilled juice made with black grapes, imli pulp and soda. You can serve this as a mocktail for your summer party with some mouth watering starters/terrace barbeque dishes like hara bhara paneer tikka, veg platter.

Black grapes are beautiful edible pearls which can be eaten fresh and raw or as dried raisins. Black grapes have lots of benefits and they are retained in the juices also

Whenever using black grapes make sure you clean them first before using. You can check how to perfectly wash the grapes in their natural way here. I always use this method.

So lets proceed step by step for making black grapes and imli punch

Soak the imli/tamarind in warm water for 15 minutes

Crush the imli and strain it to get pulp

Take the washed black grapes and place it in a juicer
