Panakam / Panak

Panakam/Panak  is a traditional indian drink which is very aromatic and refreshing...In our hometown, people give this drink for free during aani ther thiruvizha(car festival) and on chitra pournami day during the chitra gupta kadha festival...On chitra pournami night,chitragupta's story will be read night long by elders in the street and according to the events in the story, so many snacks, drinks and sundals will be distributed to all..(starting with jaggery when he's born for example) and towards end panakam and mor will be given...It tastes soo delicious and fresh...Give it a  try and enjoy..
