Sweet n tangy welcome drink
Welcome drink I’ve prepared is completely a traditional recipe. We can surprise our guests with a warm welcome drink. The taste and flavours of the welcome drink are amazing. The drink is quite an energy booster and improves digestion. I’ve prepared the drink with cooked moong lentils, jaggery powder, cumin seeds, crushed black peppercorns and tamarind water. All ingredients are boiled and strained. The welcome drink is served either hot or warm. Here I present a warm and soothing sweet n tangy welcome drink to treat our loved ones anytime. Njoy Cooking, Serving n Savoring!
