Java Plum Lemonade

 Today marks the beginning of another mega marathon.
We were given an option to choose either 4 categories or themes or just 1
category and cook and blog 26 recipes under that theme. I know it sounds crazy
but we are always up to new challenges and this time is no different. After a
lot of thinking and repeated changes in the menu, I finally decided that I
would blog recipes where the star ingredient will be a FRUIT. Now, don’t decide
that it will be 26 juices or milkshakes. It will be a good combination of many
recipes. So come back tomorrow to check what I have in store for you

Java plum is known as nagapazham in Tamizh. I
remember buying them from a fruit vendor outside my school, few of the ripe
ones in a crunched paper with salt sprinkled on it. It would be so yummy after
those boring classes in school, and when we had finished eating the fruit, the
next thing I remember is to check whose tongue has turned more pink J.
Ah, I miss those days. Never bothered if those fruits were washed or was it
healthy. All that mattered was my tongue turning pink. And when I saw Priya
blog about this lemonade, I knew I would try it and it was delicious. So here
is the simple recipe for beautifully coloured lemonade
