Jal Jeera is an Indian beverage
Jal Jeera is an Indian beverage. In Hindi, "Jal" means water and "Jeera" means cumin. Jal Jeera is similar to lemonade and is a popular summer drink in India. It is generally served as an appetizer as it is intended to startle the taste buds.
The Cumin is a medicinal ingredient which aids digestion. The mint has a cooling effect on the consumer. One of the main ingredients is black salt or rock salt which acts as a digestive.
Jal Jeera is popular in Northern India because of its cooling properties against the temperature of the region. It is generally served with appetizers before a meal, but is also drunk between meals. It contains no sugar, which makes it rather healthy.
