Barley grain has amazing cooling effects on our bodily health. Muskmelon being a high water content fruit and being rich in potassium helps to fight fatigue. Both these ingredients play a vital role in keeping our body well hydrated.
Further I have included palm sugar as the sweetener which is highly rich in vitamins and minerals. So, Why not make healthy cooler and beat the heat during summer?

  • Take a pressure pan and dry roast the barley grains until they turn slightly brown.
  • Wash the roasted grains and add 3 cups of water and salt.
  • Pressure cook the barley grains for 6 - 7 whistles.
  • Filter the barley water and measure 1 ¼ cups of barley water.
  • Allow the barley water to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile clean and cut musk melon into small cubes.
  • Remove seeds from the fruit and measure 2 teaspoons of fresh muskmelon seeds.
  • In a nutriblend jar or juicer mixer jar, add around 2 cups of muskmelon cubes, seeds and palm sugar.
  • Blend to a thick puree without adding water. You should get one cup of this puree and hence use the muskmelon cubes accordingly.
  • Take a mixing bowl add muskmelon puree, barley water, ½ cup of water, cardamom powder and dry ginger powder.
  • Mix well and transfer it to a serving glass.
  • Serve the cooler garnished with cooked barley grains / muskmelon pieces if desired.

Notes

Enjoy the complete nutritional effect of this drink by avoiding ice cubes / crushed ice as the ingredients used in this drink are a natural cooler themselves.
I used 200 ml measuring cup.
Adjust sweet according to your taste and the sweetness of the fruit.
