Looking for some cool recipes to quench ur thirst in summer? This Rcp is one among those..The tangy and sweet taste when combined gives an instant freshness and energy..

Dried apricots is not a common thing in my home. Once in a while we buy it. Usually we eat it as it is. Coincidentally when I was visiting MasterChef Sanjeev Kapoor's website, I found this easy drink. So I thought to try it n it came out so good.  Here orange juice too is used to blend the apricots cooked in honey. No sugar is used, n so completely guilt-free.
