Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 teaspoon saunf (fennel seeds) per glass, or to taste
  • 1 cup water
  • Sugar/misri, to taste
  • Ice cubes

Instructions
 

  • Grind 1/2 teaspoon of saunf into a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Grinding the saunf will release its natural oils and enhance its flavor.
  • In a mixing bowl, mix the saunf powder with 1 cup of water and let it soak for at least 3 hours or overnight. Soaking the saunf will make it soft and infuse its flavor into the water. You can cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature.
  • Grind sugar/misri and keep it aside. Misri, or crystallized sugar, is a healthier alternative to white sugar as it is less processed and contains minerals and vitamins.
  • After the saunf has soaked for the desired time, strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any solids. You can discard the solids or use them to make tea or spice mixes.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the soaked saunf along with the water it was soaked in. Add the powdered sugar/misri and mix well. Adjust the amount of sugar/misri to your liking and taste. You can also add some lemon juice or mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Add water as required to adjust the taste and consistency. If the drink is too strong, you can dilute it with more water. If it is too sweet, you can add more water and saunf powder. Mix well to ensure the sugar/misri has dissolved completely.
  • Pour the drink into glasses filled with ice cubes. You can garnish the glasses with some fennel seeds or mint leaves for a fancy touch.
  • Serve chilled and enjoy!
