Jigarthanda is a popular cold beverage originating from the city of Madurai in Tamil Nadu, India. It is made with a combination of milk, sugar, and a special ingredient called nannari syrup, which is derived from the roots of the nannari plant. The drink is often topped with crushed ice and sometimes includes additional elements like ice cream or jelly for added flavor and texture. This refreshing drink is especially enjoyed during the hot summer months and is known for its unique taste and cooling properties. Jigarthanda has gained popularity beyond Madurai, with many vendors and restaurants across India offering their own variations of this delightful treat.
