The ultimate nectar of summer.

I never liked fizz and fizz drinks...they never really quenched thirst, especially in the summers. To tell literally your body "mange more”. The thirst just does not end. This always makes me resort to nimbu paani or shikanji (ultimate and all time favorite) cold chaas/buttermilk, kokum sherbat and aam panna (the weakness) and of course "usacha raas" or sugarcane juice. Incidentally my better (?) half loves sugarcane juice and whenever we would venture out in sultry afternoons we would always stop for this “ganne ka juice”
It was this nectar that brought my mother and me to its solace after trudging a bit to get some weekdays preparations done on Sunday evening. After contemplating between half and full we had two full glasses. The first sip was honey, the next heaven. The natural coolness of the juice (minus the ice), the delectable sweetness of the greenish concoction and a remote tang of lemon. The glass got over just a bit too soon, and we trudged home, satiated and fully replenished with energy.
