Notes
* The taste of this panakam drink lies in the addition of pepper. Be cautious about adding more pepper powder as it will be too spicy.
** Jaggery always has some impurities like hay and little soil, straining the jaggery syrup is a must.
*** Ice cubes can also be added if you don’t find enough time to chill it in the fridge.
**** Split or slightly crushed cardamom can also be added instead of cardamom powder to enhance the look of the drink.
