Making squashes with various fruits has become a usual summer time activity at home. They are easy to make and much better by taste and for health when compared to the store bought ones.

Lemon squash is the easiest to make. The squash is so versatile that you can add it up to any other juice to get the lemoney flavor. It makes life so easy when you want to make ice lemon tea etc.

Gulp Gulp Gulp.. Lemon is such a humble little fruit that gives you so much flavor and taste. :)

Tips:

Use the same syrup for making ice lemon tea. Add a tsp of tea powder to 3 tblsp water and allow it to boil. Strain and mix it with 1 glass of lemon juice made above. Add some honey for extra taste :)
