This is a popular street drink during the Indian summertime - you won't find it during the winter. The cumin - which tastes best if you roast it and grind it yourself - adds a delicious hint of spice. It's also very cooling and people find that it settles the stomach. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons fresh mint |
2 limes, juice of |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 pinch salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar |
soda water, well chilled |
mint leaf, to garnish |
lime, to garnish |
Directions:
1. Put the mint, stalks and all, into a blender with the lime juice and blitz to a puree. Press the puree through a sieve into a bowl and discard the mint debris. Add cumin, salt and sugar, adjusting the quantities to suit your taste.
2. Fill a tall glass with crushed ice, pour over the minty liquid and top up with soda or sparkling water. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of lime to serve.
