A green, grassy cooler built on fresh moringa leaf rather than powder, with lime to lift it.
Method
- 1

- 2
Blend the leaves with cold water until fine.
- 3
Strain through muslin.
- 4
Add lime juice and a little dissolved jaggery to taste. Serve cold.
Before you start
Lime juice here is a food ingredient. Do not apply citrus juice to skin — it causes phototoxic burns.
Keeping it
Best within a few hours; refrigerate and drink the same day.
Where it comes from
Drumstick leaves are picked young from the tree through most of the year in South India.
