Jaljeera

Jaljeera

Jaljeera, or jaljira, is an Indian beverage, or else the powder used to flavor this drink. In Hindi, “jal” means water and “jeera” means cumin. The beverage form is essentially lemonade and jaljira powder, and is a popular summer drink in India. It is sometimes served as an appetizer, as it is intended to “startle” the taste buds.
