Gond katira or tragacanth gum has several health benefits, including keeping you cool in India’s scorching summers. While it doesn’t really have a distinct taste, it lends a unique, almost jelly like texture to drinks and is a popular ingredient in non-alcoholic sips during summer. Try this simple drink recipe with summer staples lemon and mint, and feel refreshed this summer:
Ingredients:
- Gond katira: 2 tablespoons
- Basil seeds (sabja): 1 tablespoon

- Honey: 7-8 tablespoons
- Mint leaves: 10-12
Recipe:
- Mix all ingredients, pour it in a bottle, leaving some space over the top of the liquid, and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Once the basil seeds are activated and fluff up and the gond katira is mushy, your drink is ready
