Water - 2.5 cups
Powdered Jaggery - 1/2 cup
Pepper - 4 seeds
Cardamom powder - from 1 big cardamom
Dry ginger powder - 1/2 tsp
Lemon juice - 1 tbsp
Tulasi(Basil) Leaves - few for garnish
Salt - just a small pinch
Method:
- Keep all the ingredients ready. First add powdered jaggery and let it dissolve.Peel off the skin of cardamom...Crush pepper and cardamom coarsely and add it along with fry ginger powder to jaggery water.
- Add lemon juice. Finally filter it and serve chilled.
My Notes:
- Adjust lemon juice according to your taste.
- I used paagu vellam just to get the golden brown color, you can use normal jaggery too though paagu vellam is preferred.
- You can also add a tsp of karupatti for extra flavour.
- You can plus / minus the ingredients according to your choice.
- You can also use chilled water to make panakam.
