Panakam – south Indian summer drink
jaggery-based summer drink is usually prepared on Sri Rama navami. In our tradition, we prepare panagam on sumangalai prarthanai too. Jaggery-based traditional drink is the best coolant to beat the summer heat.
temple style panakam
Being a west mambalam resident for years, I have enjoyed panagam drink in ayodhya mandapam. Temple prasadam has a unique taste because of a few additional ingredients. If you have nutmeg and edible camphor I would recommend adding it.
use jaggery powder
jaggery powder melts quickly so I would recommend doing that. If you have big pieces of jaggery, microwave them for a minute to melt jaggery.
should I cook jaggery water?
no, it is optional. The purpose of using hot water is to melt jaggery. I like the flavor of panagam prepared with hot water.
jaggery lemonade
The lemon and jaggery flavor goes well. You can adjust according to your taste.
variation for jaggery drink
- You can add sparkling water and serve it at a summer party
- Crush little pepper and add for extra flavor
- if you do not have nutmeg and edible camphor, skip it
- add tulsi leaves for extra flavor
