Squash it just concentrated fruit juices. They are readily available in shops, you just need to add some water to have it..During my shopping, i come across lots of squash bottle but i have never picked one. It is because they are so simple to make at home, so why do you want to get it from stores..

Normally i make lemonsquash, pineapple squash at home often, but i dont add citric acid in them because i make a small batch of them. But this time i wanted to make it with citric acid because i just wanted a version of that in my blog. I made a batch of mint squash and pineapple squash and it was spot on..
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..
Preparation Time : 10 mins
Cooking Time : 25 to 30 mins
Makes : 500 ml of crush

Ingredients:

Mint Leaves – 4 cups packed (wash well)
Sugar – 2.5 cup
Citrid Acid / Lemon Salt- 1 tsp 
Water – 3 cups

Method:

Take citric acid in a bowl, add in spoonful of water and set aside so it melts.

Take mint leaves in a sauce pan, add in 1.5 cup of water and bring it to a boil. Now the leaves must be wilted down.

Now strain it, reserve the water. Take the strained leaves in a blender, add in 2 to 3 tblspn of sugar and add the reserved water to puree this. Pour this back into the reserved water. Wash the blender with another 1.5 cup of water and add it to the puree. Strain this whole thing.

Now Take the strained juice in a sauce pan, add in sugar and mix well.

Bring it to a boil. Simmer the flame and cook for 15 mins or so.

Now it must have got little syrupy. Add in the citric acid mix and mix well.

Let it cool. Store it in a air tight bottle and chill.

    ‘Take citric acid in a bowl, add in spoonful of water and set aside so it melts.’

    That’s going to be pretty hot to melt, rather than dissolve, the citric acid!
