National cuisine of India
India is the birthplace of many interesting, tasty and healthy drinks. The well-known drink called “falooda” is a sweet and cool drink, which is especially good for quenching one’s thirst during the heat wave. It is often drunk especially in big cities. Milk, ice cream, pink syrup and other ingredients that give an unusual taste are added to the drink. Coconut water is equally a favorite drink for Indians. It is sold in many stores in the country and is adored for its refreshing taste and great health benefits. “Nimbu Pani” is lemonade in which ginger, lime, salt or mint may be added. The choice of drinks in India is huge, from creamy mango drink, turmeric milk, to tea with masala, buttermilk, and milk with dried fruits. Coconut alcohol drink “feni” can be drunk only in Goa while white “toddy (palm wine)”, also from coconut, can be easily found in any bar.
