About
Rose Watermelon Cooler is a naturally hydrating and refreshing summer drink that combines the sweetness of watermelon with the floral aroma of rose syrup. This cooling beverage is enhanced with mint, lime juice, and a pinch of black salt to balance electrolytes and elevate taste. Optional ingredients like milk powder add creaminess, while basil seeds (sabja) offer extra cooling and nutritional benefits. It’s an ideal homemade cooler for hot days, helping to combat dehydration and boost energy levels.
It is generally safe to consume fruits with milk powder. In fact, milk powder can be added to fruit-based drinks and recipes to enhance flavor and nutritional content. Some common examples include using milk powder in fruit smoothies or adding it to fruit salads.
