No not taqila, neither it is vodka , I am talking about something more indulging " JAMUN's". Get these seasonal refreshing beauties now and try this simple, quick and healthy recipe.
In India, this is the season of Jamun or Indian Blackberry and this juice is an excellent way to introduce Jamun in your diet. Jamuns are rich in nutrients. Jamun is a blackish purple coloured tropical fruit and abundantly available in the Indian subcontinent during summers. It is known by various names like Malabar Jamun, Java Plum, Black Plum, Jambolan, Naaval Pazham etc. Jamun fruit is commonly available in the villages of India and nowadays gaining popularity in the main cities too. Jamun has a sweet and slightly sour taste with an acidic or astringent note. It can be eaten raw as a fruit, or made into juice or jam. When eaten as is, it is popularly served with some salt or kala namak to balance the acidity in the fruit.
Today, in this post, we are going to look how to make a delicious jamun juice using this fruit. The recipe is very easy. The only tricky part is deseeding the Jamuns using a knife. Once you have done that, add the jamuns with mint leaves, ice cubes, salt, black salt, chaat masala,sugar and lemon juice to a blender. You can also substitute the ice cubes with chilled water or regular water. Blend all of these together and you have your Jamun shots ready ! Jamun Shots, as the name suggests, is a refreshing Jamun juice served in shot glasses. " Jamun Shots "is a popular Avatar of this juice because it is served in shot glasses with some salt, chilli and lemon rubbed on the rim of the glasses. But don’t worry, this is totally a non-alcoholic drink unlike the other shots 🤪🤪
It is truly a visually appealing drink which tastes equally amazing. I simply love clicking beautiful pictures of this magnificent juice. One of the main reasons for this rage and popularity is the beautiful rich purple colour of the juice which is quite unusual for any of the regular juices that we drink.
