Jamun shots are a brilliant, modern way to celebrate the fleeting summer season of the black plum while packing in incredible health benefits. This deep-purple beverage captures the sharp, astringent, and sweet profile of the fruit, which is naturally loaded with antioxidants and excellent for blood sugar management. Enhanced with traditional volcanic black salt and digestive spices, it delivers a low-calorie, nutrient-dense boost that aids digestion and provides a beautifully refreshing finish.
1 cup fresh jamun, deseeded  1/2 tsp black salt  1/4 tsp roasted cumin powder  1 tsp lemon juice  1-2 tsp honey or stevia  Chilled water and ice cubes
Place the deseeded jamun pulp into a high-speed blender along with the black salt, roasted cumin, lemon juice, and honey.
Blend the ingredients into a smooth, thick purée, adding a splash of chilled water to help the blades move if necessary.
Strain the mixture to remove any residual fibrous bits, ensuring a silky, smooth texture.
Pour the vibrant purple liquid into individual shot glasses rimmed with a mix of salt and chilli powder, then serve instantly with ice.
