Simple Sweet and Salty Lemonade – perfect summer drink

This Simple, Sweet & Salty Lemonade, or simply 3S  is a recipe from my brother. It is a perfect thirst quencher for summer.

Sweet and Salty Lemonade

We all have some memories connected with food. When making this Lemonade, I always remember the scene years before. Actually, this recipe was by my brother. He once told my Mom that he had tasted this somewhere in his friend’s home and he wants to make it the same way. We loved the taste instantly. And from then onwards whenever we make Lemonade, we make it this way. I thank my brother for introducing this flavor to me. I would like to know any of your memories connected with food.

The reason for adding salt to Lemonade is

1. It boosts the sweetness of the drink.

2. When we add only sugar, it doesn’t quench our thirst. But adding a pinch of salt does.
