Method

  1. Take 50gms of Nannari root clean in a running water to remove debris, and sundry it then wipes it with a clean cloth.
  2. With the help of mortar and pestle break the roots twice so that the root loosens up and breaks into pieces. So it’s easy to remove the white part alone. Discard and separate the brown part in a bowl.
  3. Keep the black woody portion separate, with this we are going to prepare the syrup.

  6. Add the powdered Nannari root and switch off the flame. Cover the saucepan and allow it to sit for 6 to 7 hours or overnight.
  7. After 7 hours strain the Nannari root water using a double folded muslin cloth and collect this water in a saucepan and then discard the residue.
  8. Place the saucepan containing  Nannari root water in a medium flame and add 250 gms of organic brown sugar and mix well till its dissolve completely.
  9. Bring it to boil for 15 – 20 mins and keep stirring occasionally.  The consistency should be thick, it should be like honey, switch off the flame.
  10. Allow the Nannari syrup to cool at room temperature.
  11. Now add 2 tsp of fresh lemon juice and transfer the Nannari syrup into an airtight glass container.
  12. It is best to refrigerate the  Nannari syrup, it improves shelf life up to 1 to 1.5 months.
  13. To prepare lip-smacking Nannari sarbath, take 3 tbsp of Nannari syrup in a glass and mix with 1 cup of water, squeeze a lemon, add some ice cubes and mint leaves.
