Kokum sharbat, the Konkan coast's purple answer to the heat. Cold, sweet-scented relief from an Indian summer. Pour tall and cold; no garnish outranks the chill.

Instructions

1
Get the ingredients cold; a lukewarm Indian drink is a broken promise.
2
Combine the kokum with the sugar in a blender or bowl.

Whip it till frothy and uniform — lassi rules apply here.
4
Stir through the roasted cumin by hand to keep the texture intact.

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
