Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Dried ginger powder (sonth)
- 2 tablespoons Tamarind pulp
- 3 tablespoons Jaggery (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds (lightly crushed)
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 handful Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and add the tamarind pulp and grated jaggery. Stir until the jaggery completely dissolves.
Add the dried ginger powder (sonth), cardamom powder, ground black pepper, and crushed fennel seeds to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any solids.
Refrigerate the strained mixture for about 30 minutes to chill, or serve immediately over ice for a quicker option.
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Sonth Panak Ginger Tingler over the ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Stir gently before serving and enjoy this invigorating drink!
