Jaljeera Drink Recipe | Summer Drinks Recipe

Jaljeera is popular North Indian drink and almost every makes this specially during summer because of it's cooling effect. It's also used as a appetizer drink mostly in restaurant as it's has digestive properties, in typical North Indian thali meal mostly we can see jaljeera as welcome drink (appetizer).  Jaljeera is also popularly knows as Pani puri pani, ya the pani used is pani puri is nothing but jal jeera.
When I crave a lot for pani puri I opt for a quick way make jal jeera and drink it to get some pani puri feeling, I know it's silly but it always works for me.
As all recipes jaljeera pani also made in few way but this is the widely used recipe and all below spices are normally used.  Some people add tamarind water instead of using lemon juice though lemon juice is more popular than using tamarind.  I always use lemon juice, I like the taste of that than adding tamarind but the choice is yours if you run out of lemon then tamarind can comes handy.  

Other than juice, milkshakes, usual lemonade try this jaljeera also you can say mint lemonade and enjoy the summer in better way and keep hydrated.
