    So the “Aqua” came from spanish? I remember that we used the term “Aqua” in chemistry in some kindda naming… Aqua = Water / Diluted.. cool

      Amudha, lemon juice is not a must, but helps to balance the acid and sugar level in the fruit juices. Its a natural cleanser with anit-bacterial qualities and antioxidants.
