Hi Readers and Friends…Hope everyone is doing good…Thank you so much for keeping this space live.

Here I am with yumilicious thirst quencher recipe –  Jigarthanda ( A Famous South Indian Drink). Jil Jil Jigarthanda / Jigarthanda means cooling the heart. Jigarthanda is very popular among southern part of TamilNadu especially Madurai and Dindugul. I have tasted this drink in both places but I love the taste of madurai jigarthanda. Here I prepared this jigarthanda using badam pisin which is a gum obtained from the bark of almond tree. This is one of my favourite summer drink and they are natural and healthy too. Speciality of this drink is the addition of badam (Almond) pisin and nanari syrup. Both are very good for our body as they are natural coolant. Making this drink at home is very easy, just soak the almond pisin in water for overnight, next day you can see the magic, it just blooms and doubles in volume. Finally mix everything in a bowl – milk, pisin, nanari syrup, rose syrup, sugar and semiya. Refrigerate this drink and enjoy with a dollop of ice cream on top.
