Spicy Pineapple Lemonade
This spicy pineapple lemonade is a street drink of Kerala popularly known as "Kulukki Sarbeth". "Kulukki" means shaken and "Sarbeth" means a sweet cold drink. As the name goes this is a deliciously spicy, tangy and sweet lemonade made with pineapple, lemon, mint and green chilies... yes green chilies !!! They add such a twist to the whole drink! The traditional recipe has soaked basil seeds which we have substituted here for chia seeds. If you can find basil seeds I would highly recommend that as they are cooling in nature and are the best for summer drinks.
