One of the summer drink we never failed to enjoy during summer is this famous nannari sarbath. Actually we can prepare sarasaparilla syrup at home with dried roots. But somehow this syrup is quite available at stores and we usually get it from Indian stores. Coming to my version of sarbath, i prepared it more interesting by adding some badam pisin aka almond gum.Badam pisin is a cooling agent, quite available in herbal medicines shops and its quite different from the goond used in North.Usually this cooling agent is used in famous drink called Jigardhanda,prepared with rose syrup.
Sarsaparilla root cools body and thats why they are widely used in summer.It also works as an excellent blood purifier. Sarsaparilla drink naturally cools the body,it is also believed to help skin problems, chronic rheumatism, urinary infection and stomach heat problems. Sarsaparilla drink is an excellent tonic that would refresh the body during extreme heat. Dont forget to prepare this drink during summer and beat the heat with it.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#27.
1/4cup Nannari syrup/Sarasaparilla syrup
2tbsp Sabja seeds (soaked in water)
1no Lemon
Few soaked badam pisin/almond gum
Ice cubes
Take the syrup,soaked sabja seeds, soaked badam pisin in a vessel..
Add enough chilled water, squeeze out the juice from the lemon.
Add the icecubes,mix well and serve.
No need to add any sugar, since the syrup will have enough sugar.
How to soak almond gum:
Soak few pieces of almond gum in water overnite and let them sit in room temperature.
The next day,you can see the soaked almond gum turned as transparent jelly like texture. Drain the soaked water, remove the impurities and wash again.
Use it in juices as per need.

Hi does anyone know where I can buy badam Oisin in Chicago....most of the indian grocers I enquiries do not not have it in their store... Can I buy it in any other Asian grocers??? If so what is it called in english?
ReplyDelete@nee AnnaIn english its called almond gum, i dunno know about Chicago, i carried them from India, its easily available in cost price shops there, better to get them from India, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI dont think Asian groceries will have this, in case if you want to replace this almond gum, you can make agar agar jellies and add them in this drink..Hope this helps.
