Don&#8217;t over -roast these. The cumin should change colour just a little bit. Let this mix cool for around 15 minutes and then grind it coarsely. It shouldn&#8217;t be a fine powder.<\/li>\n<li>Crush the mint leaves using a pestle and mortar. You could increase the mint leaves content up to double the mentioned quantity, if you want a more prominent mint taste.<\/li>\n<li>Then to the same pan, add 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil on high heat. Add in the jeera-peppercorns mix, the crushed mint leaves, and the grated ginger. Give the contents a quick stir and let the mixture boil on high heat for around 2 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Lower the heat to medium and stir in the sugar. Add an extra \u00bc cup of sugar if you want a slightly sweeter jeera drink. Let the syrup boil for around 5 minutes till it&#8217;s slightly sticky to the touch. The syrup shouldn&#8217;t be too thick.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, add in the chaat masala and the black salt. Let the syrup boil for another minute and then take it off the heat.<\/li>\n<li>Let it cool slightly for around 5 minutes and then strain it through a sieve. Press down the residue in the sieve to extract all the syrup from it. Add 1 tbsp of boiling water to it and press it down again to extract a little more flavour from it. (The residue is quite tasty. So don&#8217;t discard it. You could use it in vegetable dishes, curries, and soups.)<\/li>\n<li>Transfer the syrup to a clean dry bottle. The jeera soda syrup will stay good for around a month when stored at room temperature.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Sugar-free, dry jeera soda pre-mix<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Like for the syrup, dry roast the jeera and peppercorns on medium heat for around 5 minutes. But this time, after cooling the mix, grind it to a very fine powder. You could also sift it to make sure there are no bits of unground jeera or peppercorns in it.<\/li>\n<li>To the finely ground powder, add the dried ginger, chaat masala, and black salt.<\/li>\n<li>Mix it well and then store this dry pre-mix in a clean dry bottle.<\/li>\n<li>This jeera soda pre-mix too will stay good in the fridge for around a month.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To make the drink (using a 6-0z \/ 180 ml glass):<\/p>\n<p>1.) 1 tbsp syrup \/ \u00be tsp pre-mix, 1 tsp lime juice, ice (optional), chilled club soda<\/p>\n<p>2.) 1 tbsp syrup \/ \u00be tsp premix, 1 tsp lime juice, ice (optional), \u00bd tsp Eno, chilled water.<\/p>\n<p>3.) 1 tbsp syrup \/ \u00be tsp premix, 1 tsp lime juice, ice (optional), chilled water (non-fizzy drink)<\/p>\n<p>For taller glasses, use 1 \u00bd tbsp syrup \/1 tsp dry premix + 1 \u00bd tsp lime juice + ice cubes (optional) + chilled water \/ chilled club soda \/ 1 tsp fruit salt + chilled water.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Refreshing Homemade Masala Soda Let&#8217;s make a refreshing summer drink \u2013 jeera soda, or homemade masala soda, a cooling drink made with jeera or cumin seeds, spices, and lime juice.
