Smoky Kala Jamun Mojito

Directions

1. 1
   First, thaw the Jamun pulp according to the package instruction.
2. 2
   Then muddle the mint, lime wedges, sugar, and lime juice.
3. 3
   Place the mint and lime wedges in a big bowl or pitcher.
4. 4
   Use a cocktail muddler to press it until it becomes aromatic and juice is squeezed from the lime wedges.
5. 5
   Note – When you’re muddling the mint, your goal isn’t to pulverize it or crush it. Instead, just bruise it slightly to help it release its fragrant oils. This should only take a few taps with your muddler!
6. 6
   Then add Jamun pulp.
7. 7
   Mix with a spoon until the sugar dissolves.
8. 8
   Place a trivet in a bowl (drink mixture bowl). Then place a steel bowl on top of a trivet.

   Then heat a piece of charcoal over direct heat until it’s red hot.
10. 10
    Place hot charcoal in that steel bowl on top of the trivet.
11. 11
    Pour ½ teaspoon ghee on top of the charcoal. You will immediately see fumes coming out of charcoal.
12. 12
    Immediately close the bowl with a lid.
13. 13
    Let the pot close for a minute. After 1 minute remove the lid and remove the charcoal bowl from the drink.
