Sabudana Drink - Refreshing Summer Drink

Step 1: Prepare Sabudana

Take 1/3 cup of sabudana (tapioca pearls) in a bowl. Add water, wash thoroughly, and drain. Add fresh water and soak for 1 hour.

Step 2: Prepare Sabja Seeds

Take 1 tablespoon of sabja seeds (basil seeds) in a bowl. Add water and soak for 15-20 minutes until they swell and form a gel-like consistency.

Step 3: Cook Sabudana

Drain the water from the soaked sabudana. Transfer the sabudana to a pot. Add 1 cup of water and cook on medium flame for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sabudana turns translucent.

Step 4: Prepare Milk Base

In a separate pot, add 2 cups of milk and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add 1/4 cup of milk powder and mix well until it's completely dissolved and smooth.

Step 5: Sweeten the Milk

Add 1/4 cup of sugar to the milk mixture and mix well until the sugar dissolves. Turn off the flame and allow the milk mixture to cool completely.

Step 6: Combine Sabudana and Milk

Once the milk mixture has cooled, add the cooked and water-drained sabudana to it. Mix well to combine.

Step 7: Add Fruits and Nuts

To the sabudana and milk mixture, add 2 tablespoons of cut apple, 2 tablespoons of cut banana, 2 tablespoons of black grapes, 2 tablespoons of green grapes, 2 tablespoons of red grapes, 2 tablespoons of pomegranate arils, 1 tablespoon of chopped cashew nuts, 1 tablespoon of chopped almonds, and 1 tablespoon of chopped pistachios. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 8: Assemble the Drink

Take three serving glasses. Add a portion of the soaked sabja seeds to the bottom of each glass. Then, pour the prepared sabudana drink mixture over the sabja seeds in each glass.

Step 9: Serve Chilled

Serve the Sabudana Drink chilled. You can garnish with a few extra fruits or nuts if desired.

• Ensure sabudana is washed thoroughly before soaking to remove excess starch.

• Soak sabudana and sabja seeds for the recommended time to achieve the right texture.

• Adjust sugar quantity according to your preference and the sweetness of the fruits.

• Chill the drink well before serving for the best taste and refreshing experience.

• You can customize the fruits and nuts based on availability and personal liking.

• Add a scoop of ice cream for an extra rich treat.

• Experiment with different fruit combinations like mango, kiwi, or berries.

• For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and cream alternatives.
