paper boat drinks and memories : part 1(anar and kokum)

















Hey all!! I am so excited about this post because it is my first food blog post and that too in collaboration with PAPER BOAT DRINKS. Before moving forward  I would like to know if you guys have ever visited their website and facebook page ??? If not then I am linking both the pages below because I don’t want you all to miss it. I have never seen such an interesting and innovative website before. It’s a fun website and you will like to visit it again and again. They have done proper detailing of their each and every product that is available in the market.

For the very first time when I saw the paper boat advertisement I was all curious and boggled at the same time that how do these drinks, link you to your childhood memories. I found their advertisement very well conceptualized and it did evoke the childhood memories and I can actually relate a lot of instances from the advertisement to my childhood.

Let’s now talk about their drinks. Firstly about their packaging, paper boat drinks come in a cute and colorful, sleek, flexible plastic- paper bottles. These bottles are easy to open, handy and portable. You will always feel good when you are holding these bottles, they have all nice colors and graphics all over them. I will also like to tell you guys that when you are buying a pack of three (250ml) box then you will come across too many cute things. They have a fridge magnet inside and a cute letter with a nice message that will make you even happier.

 Truly speaking I have never tasted such wonderful ready to serve drinks till date. They are really far-far better than the other packaged drinks in the market and the best also and I am saying this in content of taste as well as nutritional value both.

 They are my current favorite I have almost tried their every flavor and I have loved them all.  From the very first sip to the last sip you will get a sense of satisfaction and after that you cannot deny this fact that it tastes exactly like the one that is made in our home.  They are so-so close to the real things and I hardly feel any difference. They have a perfectly balanced flavor and color. Their drinks did made me remember my childhood days and I sailed through the river of memories that how my parents used to take me my sister every day to the ‘juice-corner’ for the ‘anar ka juice’ and the time during summers when we returned home after school and our mother used to treat us with jaljeera.

Let’s now talk about what I have for you guys in this post. Everyone one knows that these paper boat drinks are ready to serve drinks but they are more than this. Before moving forward I must tell you guys that I am a great fan of mock tails and shakes, so I keep on experimenting and I did the same with paper boat drinks. Here in this post I will be presenting my two drinks one with Anar and the other with kokum.

1.       CHATPATA ANAR


















INGREDIENTS:
Fresh mint leaves.
Lemon or lemon juice
Lemon slices
Black salt (1\2 tsp)
Chaat masala (1\4 tsp)
Ice cubes
Sugar (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.       Rinse the mint leaves and put them inside the mason jar(or glass) . Muddle the mint leaves using a muddler or spoon so that you get a nice flavour of mint in your drink.


















2. Squeeze in a half lemon.



3.       Add ½ 0r ¼ tsp of black salt.

















4.       Add ¼ tsp of chaat masala.



5.       Add 4-6 ice cubes.



















6.       Add paper boat anar drink.




















7.       Stir the contents once with a spoon and add 1-2 lemon slice into the jar.





8.       Ready to serve.













Tips: use chilled anar juice and if you want to add some sweetness you can use sugar according to your taste buds.
Note that they already have some spices mixed in their drinks but in a very small amount. You can read more about their anar drink and its functional benefit by clicking here.

2.       FIZZY KOKUM MASALA


















      INGRIDEINTS:

Sugar 1tsp
Lemon
Plain soda (or sprite)
Paper boat kokum (it already have little amount of some spices mixed in it)
Black salt
Chaat masala

INSTRUCTIONS:
  1.      .Squeeze in half lemon into the mason jar or glass
  2.        Add 1 tsp sugar.
  3.        Fill half of the jar with the paper boat kokum
  4.         Add ice cubes
  5.        Then add chilled soda in the same quantity of kokum
  6.        To strengthen the flavors of the drink I added a pinch of black salt and chaat masal both from the top.
  7.       .Instead of soda you can use sprite but keep in mind that you need to use kokum in larger quantity than that of sprite. This is so because sprite will overshadow the flavor of kokum.
  8.       .Ready to serve.
