Coconut – It is better to use freshly grated coconut for the best results.
Jaggery – Jaggery is a healthy way of sweetening the drink. If you wish you can sugar too.
Almonds – Almonds give a creamy and rich texture to the drink. You can add Pista and cashew nut as well but in less quantity.
Cardamom – This ingredient gives the drink a pleasant flavor.
Water – Use fresh drinking water for grinding, as there is no cooking involved in the process.
