Cool drinks are a great way to chill on a hot summer day. Get back from a sweaty workout or simply from some shopping or just from work and sip on a cooler to get completely refreshed. Fresh fruit coolers are the best since they are not only refreshing but healthy too.
I came across some really fresh Jamun while shopping for my weekly groceries last weekend. I love the fruit simply for their lovely purple color. Also known a Jambul, Java Plum, Portuguese Plum and a lot more other names, it is native to some of the South Asian countries. Since it's not a very popular fruit and isn't very commercially sold, it's available fresh only during seasons only for about a month or two during summer and monsoon. It is also known for it's medicinal properties and it's seeds are used in Ayurvedic medicines for controlling blood sugar. I make sure to catch up on this fruit every year, especially since I've learnt to make an interesting sweet and salty concoction out of it.
