Pear and Apple Jal Jeera : A refreshing summer drink

April 29, 2014 by 29 Comments

  
Jal Jeera is a quintessential hot Indian summers drink. Jal means water and Jeera means Cumin. But there is more to this drink. Normally, it is made with mint leaves, cilantro leaves, rock salt, dry mango powder or little tamarind pulp, cumin powder, table salt. Shake, shake, Shake and all done! Chill it and drink it. All the ingredients that are used in making this drink are known to kill the heat! I am serious :).

These days, you find a ready made Jal Jeera powder mix to whip it in a jiffy! That’s it! Some cold water and add few teaspoons of dry mix and drink! I will post a link to a basic Jal jeera drink too!

  
I thought of jazzing it up today :). Made Pear and Apple slush and added few more things along with ready Jal
Jeera mix and it was so refreshing! Hey I forgot to mention, today Aditi from Confused Bawarchis is coming over and I am super excited :). I have made this for her and hope she likes my crazy experiment!

Ingredients :
Pears : 2
Apple : 1/2
Sugar : 2 tbsp
Lemon juice : 2 tbsp
Mint leaves : 4-5
Jaljeera powder : 2-3 tbsp
Water and ice cubes to dilute it later

Method :
1. Wash, peel and core the pears and apple. Chop them in small pieces.

  1. Take a blender, add all the things together to the blender and blitz till you get a smooth purรฉe!

  2. Take a tall tumbler or jug. Add the purรฉe in the jar. Add water and ice cubes. Chill and enjoy!

Note : Attaching the recipe to Dasana’s Jal Jeera recipe from scratch! I will follow it blindly :).

Also sending it to the KFB “Beat the Heat” contest!

    I love everything that comes out of your kitchen! I’ve never tried jal jeera. Is it similar to another flavor?

    There’s certainly no heat wave here, but I am still tempted by this refreshing drink. Will look for the powder next time I am in an Indian supermarket.

    Oh my I have never heard of this . . . I wonder if I could make it with the last of my loquats . . . I pureed them this morning skin and all and they taste pretty good . . . hmmmm. I love cumin, it’s my favorite spice in all of the spice world. This looks so refreshing right about now, as we are having a heat wave here in L.A.

    […] So a lot of you already know I visited Sonal from Simply Vegetarian earlier this week. We spent an entire afternoon together and she sure fed me well. We ate, chatted, ate some more and soaked some sun since it was a beautiful windy day. Iโ€™m so glad we met – a day very well spent! To get a sneak peak of some of the wonderful food I had there youโ€™ll have to click here and here. […]
