Instructions for Jal Jeera Recipe - Sweet And Sour Cumin Water Recipe

To begin making the Jal Jeera Recipe, wash mint leaves and cilantro leaves and keep aside.

Peel & slice pineapple. Using a juicer, extract juice and strain it twice to procure clear pineapple juice.

Grind the dry spices using a spice grinder and then add the tamarind paste, mint leaves and cilantro leaves.

Using 3 to 4 tablespoons of water, make a fine paste. Strain the paste twice so you have a clear concentrated paste. (I used a regular sieve for the first straining and a finely meshed one for the second) Transfer this to a pot or jug.

In a measuring jar, add the pineapple juice and top the rest with water so that you have a total amount of 650 ml (approximately) of liquid.

Add sugar and stir well to dissolve. Pour this liquid in the concentrated paste and stir well. Jal Jeera is ready; chill it and sprinkle boondi before serving. Serve Jal Jeera as an appetizer or a digestive drink.
