Panakam Ginger & Lime Drink is a refreshing drink from South India. Panakam means a sweet drink in Sanskrit. This traditional drink is made with lime, ginger and jaggery. That is how it gets its sweet and tangy taste.
This is a summer drink and is usually made during the Ram Navami festival or spring Hindu festivals which fall in April or May. It is a thirst-quencher and a natural coolant.
The slurpy, sweet and tangy Panakam Ginger & Lime Drink is a golden nectar.
