Phalsa and Munjal Float

(Combination of two Hyderabad summer fruits, this drink will certainly cool you down on a hot day.)

Ingredients:

Juicy Phalsa — 0.5kg
Munjal fruit — 1 cup peeled and chopped
Sugar/Sweetener — to taste
Lemon juice — to taste
cumin seeds (optional) —
½ tsp roasted and crushed
A pinch of salt
A few Pudina leaves
Method:
- Pick and wash the Phalsa.
- Boil 5 cups of water and add the Phalsa to the boiling water and then switch the heat off.
- Allow the berries to cool.
- Crush the softened berries and pass them through a strainer to collect the juice.
- Adjust the taste, adding fresh lemon juice and sugar/sweetener as required. Add a pinch of salt and roasted and crushed cumin seeds
(optional).

Chill the juice:
In a tall glass, add the chopped Munjal and some crushed ice and top with the phalsa juice. Serve garnished with a mint leaf.
Note: You can substitute the Phalsa juice with tinned/bottled cranberry juice or apple juice.
