When the temperature starts to rise, finding a drink that not only refreshes you but also supports your well-being becomes extremely essential. Celebrity chef Sanjeev Kapoor has shared a simple yet effective recipe for a blue pea gond katira iced tea, a vibrant drink that blends traditional ingredients with a modern twist. Light, cooling, and naturally colourful, this beverage is ideal for staying hydrated while enjoying a burst of flavour.

How To Make Blue Pea Gond Katira Iced Tea 

Preparing this summer drink is actually very simple and requires minimal steps. 

• Soak 1–2 teaspoons of gond katira in water for about 5 hours or overnight.


• Take blue pea flowers, also known as aparajita, and place them in a French press. Add warm water to release their natural colour.


• In a glass, add ice, soaked gond katira, lemon, and fresh mint leaves.


• Strain the blue pea infusion and pour it into the glass.


• Add your preferred sweetener. Sugar syrup works, but healthier options like jaggery, desi khand, or honey can also be used.


• Top it up with normal or chilled water, mix well, and enjoy.
