Expert Tips for the Perfect Jal Jeera
- Adjust sweetness: Start with the suggested amount of jaggery and adjust to your preferred level of sweetness.
- Spice it up: For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few extra black peppercorns.
- Fresh is best: Use fresh mint leaves for the most vibrant flavor. If fresh mint isn't available, you can substitute with a small amount of dried mint.
