Jal Jeera Recipe

What is Jal Jeera?

Jal Jeera is spicy and refreshing herbed water made with cumin and spices. The word “jal” means water and “jeera” represents cumin seeds. This is a very popular summer drink in India and commonly available as street food/drink throughout the month of summer.

Serve this refreshing drink with deep-fried tiny gram flour balls called boondi.

Basic Ingredients for Jal Jeera

• First, Herbs- I have used mint and coriander leaves.
• Ginger-Adds a nice kick.
