Instructions
- 1Lightly roast the cumin seeds. Use a pestle and mortar to grind it to a powder.
- 2In a jug, add the water, salt and sugar and stir until the salt and sugar dissolve.
- 3To this, add the cumin powder. Grate the mint leaves and ginger into it.
- 4Add the ice cubes too and stir it. By the time you serve the drink, the ice cubes would have melted. Or become small in size, depending on where you live!
- 5With the palm of your hand, roll the limes back and forth over the counter — so squeezing out the juice is easy. Then cut the limes and squeeze the juice in. It doesn’t matter if you get the seeds in, as you’re going to strain it. Add about half the rinds in and give the drink a good stir.
- 6Let the drink rest for a good 15 minutes.
- 7Then pour it all through a strainer into pitcher.
- 8Garnish with mint leaves (optional), and serve.
