Crack open the hard shell of Wood apple. If the fruit is fully ripened it looks dark brown in colour.
Scoop out the pulp of the fruit into a bowl. I got around 1 cup of fruit pulp.
Add powdered jaggery or any sweetener of your choice.
Add 1 cup of water to soak the pulp. Let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
After 20 minutes, strain and extract the juice completely from pulp.
Now add in black salt, cardamom powder and add-on’s if any (black pepper powder and cumin powder)
Stir well , add 4 cups of chilled water. Taste and adjust sweetener, if required.
Serve in a tall glass with some ice cubes and mint leaves .
