INGREDIENTS USED IN FULJHAR SODA

• FALSA

Falsa isn’t just an ingredient—it’s the soul of this soda. Its naturally tangy-sweet flavor brings the perfect balance to the bold masala and mint, creating a refreshing base that instantly cools you down. When blended into a shot and dropped into fizzy soda, falsa transforms into a vibrant, punchy concentrate that crackles with flavour.

• SODA

Soda water, also known as carbonated water, plays a crucial role in making fuljhar soda. Its effervescence adds a delightful fizz to the drink, creating a refreshing and lively texture. When combined with the falsa, soda water enhances the overall flavour profile, balancing the sweetness with a subtle acidity. Moreover, the carbonation of the soda water helps to elevate the drink, making it light and perfect for quenching thirst on a hot summer day.

• MINT LEAVES

Mint leaves play a refreshing and aromatic role in fuljhar soda, adding a burst of freshness to the drink. The crisp, herbaceous notes of mint complement the tangy sweetness of the falsa .

• LEMON JUICE

Lemon juice contributes a refreshing citrusy aroma that invigorates the senses and complements the fruity notes of the falsa . The acidity of the lemon juice also helps to cut through the sweetness, preventing the drink from becoming overly cloying. Overall, lemon juice adds a vibrant and refreshing element to fuljhar soda.

• SPICES

The spices add a unique savoury touch to the beverage. Adding salt and black salt also causes fizz when added to the soda. Black salt helps to balance the overall taste by adding a hint of saltiness without overpowering the other flavours. These spices elevate the flavour profile of fuljhar soda, making it more dynamic and flavorful.

TIPS TO MAKE FULJHAR SODA

1. The riper the berries, the juicier and sweeter your soda base will be. Underripe falsa can be too tart.
2. Balance the flavors:Taste your blended mixture before adding soda—adjust salt, lemon, or sugar as needed. Star fruit can vary in sweetness.
3. Use chilled soda:Cold soda enhances the fizz and keeps the fuljhar effect strong. Warm soda will flatten the drink.
4. Add fuljhar (popping candy) last:For maximum fizz and crackle, drop the shot into the soda just before serving. It’s all about the dramatic moment.
5. Serve immediately:This drink is best enjoyed fresh while it’s still bubbling and alive with that crackling effect.
6. Optional twist:Add a pinch of chili powder for a spicy kick or rim your glass with chaat masala + salt for extra flavor.
7. If you prefer a cleaner shot, strain the blended mixture to remove seeds and pulp before pouring it into shot glasses.
