Ingredients
- 6 Paan leaves/betel leaves 12 grams
- 2 cups water 16 ounces water
- 3 tablespoons fennel seeds
- 3 tablespoons gulkand
- 2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut
- 7 whole green cardamom pods
Add Later:
- 3 ½ cups vanilla ice cream
- 4-5 drops green food coloring
- Coconut for rim, optional
Instructions
- Remove the stems and rip the leaves. Place into a blender along with all of the ingredients except for the ice cream and food coloring. Blend for 2 minutes in a high powdered blender (like Vitamix) - the mixture must look smooth.
- Add the ice cream and food coloring and blend again until well combined.
- Pour into a container/serving jar and put it in the freezer for 30 minutes, then take it out, mix well, serve. Rim shot glasses with coconut if desired.
Notes
- If you do not have a powerful blender, you’ll want to strain.
- Please know that no matter how much you blend, there will still be a bit of texture in the drink but that's how it should be! You want to get that same flavor and mouthfeel that comes with eating paan.
- If you make this in advance, keep it in the freezer, then let it thaw before serving.
- To rim the glass, add a bit of water to the rim using your finger or a paper towel, and then add the shredded coconut.
