Like ice in the sunshine...

Took a long time - but now it is summer. And what matches very good with this season? You are right, music. I have selected some special summer songs which will help you to rise a typical summer feeling.

But thats not all - there is much more what can be done during such lovely days: you can go for an ice cream or play beach volleyball. You can visit a beer garden  or go for a swim. And this we did yesterday evening. Coming from work  I took my children went straight away to the lake and jumped into the cool water. If you are lucky to have the centre point of your living near a beautiful lake like me you have to use each and every opportunity to go there. So we took a swim, set later at the pontoon and took there our dinner in form of a typical Bavarian snack or “Brotzeit” as we say and left for home only after some black clouds suddenly appeared. Shortly after the expected thunderstorm started accompanied by heavy rain.

And today the summer returned. One reason more to have a  real summer drink. So I propose a Mango Lassi, a drink which is very much liked in India and has to be served during the hot days in a very cold condition.

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Peel and dice mango. Then puree it.
2. Add yogurt, milk or water, sugar, lemon- or limejuice, cardamom, cinnamon and ginger and mix it.
3. Decorate with mint or lemon balm leaves.
