Without further ado, let’s have a look at some must-try Indian beverages that will tempt your taste buds instantly!
List Of Top 6 Typical Indian Drinks
Lassi
Lassi is a popular Indian drink that originated in Punjab, a state in the country's north. Lassi is made with yogurt as the base, and the ingredients vary by region. There are sweet versions (made with water, sugar, cardamom, and fruits such as mango and strawberry) and savory versions (made with salt, cumin, and mint).
As casein, a protein found in milk, binds to capsaicin, the component that causes peppers to burn, lassi is a wonderful "tranquiliser" for spicy Indian food. It is the best summer beverage. To give a surprising twist to the drink, we have one special Summer Paradise milkshake to make your summers exciting and fun!
Aam Panna
In Hindi, aam denotes "mango." Aam Panna includes green mangoes, also known as fresh 'Kairi,' instead of ripe mangoes, which are used in most juices and drinks. Cooked mangoes are mixed with salt, pepper, jeera (cumin powder), and mint leaves for decoration.
The Aam Panna drink is popular in northern India during the summer as a refreshment and to restore electrolytes lost via perspiration owing to the heat. Also, explore our Flistaa beverages to beat the heat!
Nimbu Pani
Nimbu Pani, also referred to as Shikanji, is lemonade that has been "terminated" with sugar, coarse salt, and jeera (powdered cumin).
This fascinating drink, which combines sweet and salty flavors, is popular in the summer since it is highly refreshing and is frequently offered by street sellers. To create a unique flavor profile and help you energize, here we have come up with Maramari juice - a combination of pineapple and sweet lime. It will create a citric medley for sure!
Jaljeera
Jal denotes "water" in Hindi, while Jeera denotes "cumin." The drink is made with lemonade and cumin seeds, as well as Jaljeera powder, a spice blend that includes roasted cumin powder, mint leaves, coriander leaves, ginger, pepper, black salt, powdered fruits (such as dehydrated green mango), and even tamarind water for a quite delicious taste.
Jaljeera, like Nimbu Pani, is a popular summer dish in northern India. Cumin aids digestion and can be taken either before or after a meal to stimulate your appetite. How about trying a juice with the power of 3? Try our Ganga Jamuna Saraswati juice!
