Sparkling Panakam

Description

I found this recipe on the Epicurious website (posted by Heidi Swanson), and I thought I'd post it here for others to enjoy. It's a sparkling version of a traditional Indian beverage that is typically made during the Hindi festival of Sri Rama Navami. Some families also serve Panakam to wedding guests as a welcome gesture. This version is less sweet than most other panakam recipes, so feel free to increase the sugar level to your liking. Yield is 4 cups/1 liter.

Cooking Time

Preparation Time :10 Min

Cook Time : 0 Min

Total Time : 10 Min

Ingredients

Serves : 1
  • 1⁄4 sugar
  • 2 ground ginger
  • 1⁄8 ground cardamom
  • 1 fresh lime juice
  • 1⁄8 sea salt
  • 4 sparkling water
  • ice cube

Directions

  • In a medium pitcher, make a thick paste by stirring together the sugar, ginger, cardamom, lime juice, salt, and a small splash of the sparkling water. Stir until all sugar has dissolved.
  • Add more water, a little at a time, stirring all the while. The mixture will get quite fizzy, so just take it slow.
  • Serve as cold as possible with as many ice cubes wedged into the pitcher as possible.
