Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 100 gram Jamun (Java Plum)
- 1 ½ tablespoon granulated white sugar
- 1 ¼ teaspoon cumin powder (jeera powder)
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt or rock salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves
- ¼ Cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 litre carbonated water or club soda
Instructions
- Rinse the Jamun nicely with water. Allow them to dry or pat dry with a kitchen towel.
- Sprinkle granulated white sugar over the Jamun. Let the Jamun sit with sugar for 30 minutes. This step is to macerate the fruit and loosen up its pulp.
- After 30 minutes, once the Jamun becomes soft, mash them with your fingers. Discard the seeds and collect the pulp in a separate bowl.
- Blend Jamun pulp with sugar, salt, cumin, mint, and ¼ Cup of water to make a smooth concentrate. Do not blend for too long otherwise, it will start tasting bitter.
- Now, to make Jamun lemonade, add ¼ Cup of fruit concentrate in each glass, ½ tablespoon of lemon juice, and fill it with carbonated water/club soda/plain water. Stir to combine. Add ice cubes or crushed ice.
- Garnish Jamun Lemonade with mint leaves. Serve it chilled.
Notes
- You can follow the same recipe to make blueberry or raspberry lemonade also.
- Adding carbonated water or club soda to this jamun lemonade is optional. You can use regular water also.
- Do not blend the ingredients for too long otherwise, mint and Jamun will start tasting bitter.
