The last few weeks of the month of October have been unusually hot !!! Just when the mind craves for a refreshing chilled drink and what better if it is healthy too! Indeed a great way to beat the scorching heat.
During our yesteryears, this was a regular concoction and favourite in my Moms house, especially served each year on Akha Teej. However, with the passage of time, it’s potent sugar content became a deterrent and soon it vanished from our menus.
It was only very recently until I visited a workshop on Conscious Living in my city where an aunt of mine demonstrated this recipe using jaggery in place of sugar which was almost like a reincarnation of the old-fashioned version.
The Imli Ka Amlana is an apt drink, flavorsome and also aids in digesting all the heavy food consumed during the festive season. Tamarind is a rich source of vitamin b,c, potassium, magnesium and loads of antioxidants which protects our body from hazardous free radicals.
Serve this as a Non-alcoholic mocktail or add a good quantity of vodka or rum, shake it well and enjoy it as a fusion cocktail.
Cheers !!!
