About Jigarthanda

Jigarthanda is a creamy, chilled beverage from the South Indian city of Madurai, often associated with Tamil cuisine. Its name translates to "cool heart," reflecting its reputation as a refreshing treat in hot weather. Traditionally made with milk, condensed milk, almond gum (known as badam pisin), nannari (sarsaparilla) syrup, and ice cream, Jigarthanda is rich in flavor and texture. While it provides hydration and a quick source of energy from natural and added sugars, it is calorie-dense due to its high sugar and fat content from ice cream and condensed milk. The inclusion of almond gum is a notable benefit, offering cooling properties and aiding digestion. Ideal as an occasional indulgence, Jigarthanda is best enjoyed mindfully to balance its rich ingredients with dietary needs.
