Jal Jeera, as name suggests, a mouth-watering, jeera flavoured Indian Lemonade. Jal Jeera is a cooler drink and also helps in digestion as we are going to add cumin, mint and all fresh spices. It is an essential summer beverage and served as an appetizer in many of the Indian Restaurants. Most of the Punjabi Dhaba 's serve this as an appetizer. Now a days Jal Jeera powder is readily available in stores. We could also prepare jaljeera powder at home and store it in air-tight container. Store bought jal jeera powder uses all dry ingredients including dry mint leaves.  This powder can also be used in chutney and other chaat dishes.
But I would prefer preparing fresh masala along with fresh mint and coriander leaves so that we would get the traditional rich flavour. Cumin seeds in JalJeera not only quenches the thirst but also increases the appetite. Chilled Jal Jeera helps to beat the heat and also helps in indigestion and dehydration. Lets see the recipe of this healthy drink now...
