Panakon
Panakon is a slightly spicy tamarind lemonade, served during prayers and religious festivals. This refreshing drink originates from South India.
Recipe Ingredients
- 1 Pink Lady apple
- 1 juicing orange
- 5 limes
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cardamom (it's best to roast the seeds and grind them yourself)
- 6 cardamom pods (optional)
- 350g brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
Instructions
- 1
Cut two orange slices and one of the limes into slices and set aside for the final presentation.
- 2
Press the orange, 4 of the limes, and add the juices to a large bowl or fountain as shown in the picture, along with the cardamom and ginger powder. Also, add the sugar and tamarind and mix well.
- 3
Peel the apple and remove the core. Grate it very finely; a food processor is better as you can extract the juice.
- 4
Add a little over 5L of water to the container.
- 5
Integrate the orange and lime pieces into the panakon. Mix well and leave in the refrigerator for at least 2 to 3 hours so that it is very cold and the spice flavors can be released. With ice cubes, it's also very pleasant! Enjoy!
