Nannari Syrup Prepration

Earlier, I had posted Nannari Sarbath and had promised to post the syrup prepration. This is the first time I am preparing it. Never thought it was so simple and easy too. After tasting sarbath with my syrup, S rate it as Pro. So what more can I say. Here is the ingredient list and method.

Ingredients


Nannari root - 50 gms
Sugar - 1/2 Kg
Water - 1 litre
Jaggery(powdered) - 2 tblspn
milk - 1 tspn
Method
Nannari root resembles very much like the mahagony root, which is used for pickling.
Wash and clean the roots well. Slightly crush the roots using a stone mortar and pestle. The roots are very hard, so slight crushing is enough. Crushing is for better penetration of the nannari essence to the water.
Boil half the quantity of water. When it starts boiling, add the crushed roots to it and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from fire. Keep it aside.

Take another vessel with the remaining water. Add sugar to it.
When the sugar is fully dissolved and it starts boiling, add a teaspoon of milk to remove the scum if any.

Strain the water boiled with the root and add to the syrup.

Add jaggery and boil the syrup to one string consistency. Jaggery is added to get that golden hue to the syrup and it also adds to the thickness of the syrup.
Cool and bottle it.

Enjoy homemade sarbath during the summer.

    sagari, me too.

    sagari, have heard some shops make sarbath using nannari essence. But with roots, you get a natural drink.
