Method
Follow these steps for the best results
Begin by blending the mint leaves and coriander with a little chilled water into a smooth, vibrant green paste. This fresh base gives the drink its cooling, herbaceous flavour.
Pour the paste into a jug and add the remaining chilled water. Now stir in MM1 Jaljeera Masala, MM1 Kala Namak, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix well until the masala dissolves completely and the flavours blend beautifully.
Add plenty of ice cubes and let it rest in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes so the flavours deepen.
Serve in tall glasses garnished with mint and lemon slices.
One sip and it instantly feels like summer, street food, and nostalgia in a glass.
