INGREDIENTS USED IN FULJHAR SODA

• Jamun

Jamun plays a central role in the creation of fuljhar soda, infusing it with its unique flavor and vibrant color. To make the puree, ripe jamuns are washed, deseeded, and blended to extract their essence. This rich and tangy syrup forms the base of the drink, lending it a delightful fruity sweetness. Additionally, jamun pulp adds a beautiful purple hue to the soda, enhancing its visual appeal. Combined with the effervescence of soda water, the pulp creates a refreshing and invigorating beverage.

• 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 tangy jamun, 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 jamun.

• Lemon juice

Lemon juice contributes a refreshing citrusy aroma that invigorates the senses and complements the fruity notes of the jamun. 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.
