Blueberry Masala Soda

This one takes me back to India! The variety of food, fruits & veggies you get in the Tropics is just incomparable! Masala Soda is not my invention - it is a drink that has been around for ages! I can only remix it to tailor my needs - which is make it healthier & gut-friendly. This is a perfect drink to add to your summer get togethers or pool party...or just to kick back on a warm afternoon with some friends.
