    About This Recipe

    Paan Shots is a refreshing mouth freshener drink that combines “dessert” and “after meal paan” into one.

    Inspired by the popular Indian Meetha Pan (Betel Leaves), it is super easy to make and comes together in just 5 minutes.

    Serve it as a drink or dessert for festivals or special occasions or enjoy it on a hot summer day.

    Ingredients

    Betel Leaves – You can easily get these from the local paanwalas or in the local vegetable markets. Some Indian grocery stores also stock these.

    Cardamom Powder – It gives a very nice flavor to this drink.

    Vanilla Ice Cream – Adds creaminess and sweetness to the shots.

    Gulkand – Gulkand is rose jam. You will find it at any Indian grocery store or even online.

    Green Color – It is optional but gives a nice green hue to the drink.

    Others – You will also need fennel seeds (saunf), desiccated coconut (nariyal ka burada), and sugar.

    Serving Suggestions

    I personally like to serve it as a dessert after a heavy meal, as it is great for digestion and also cools down your body.

    These paan shots can also be served as a drink for get-togethers, dinner parties, or Indian festivals like Diwali, Holi, etc.

    Storage Suggestions

    Paan shots taste best when made fresh. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for about a day or two in the refrigerator.
