Hey Everyone . Hope you all are doing well .
So Today I wanted to explore a bit beyond the usual spots in Kochi . I hopped on my bike and went on this awesome little cycling trip from Panampilly Nagar all the way to Menaka in Kochi . It was only about 15 km ( 14.83 Km to be exact ) , And it was such a nice, peaceful ride through the city.
As I cycled through the busy streets, I got to see all kinds of interesting things. Busy little shops, people going about their daily lives, and lots of lush greenery all around. The energy of the city was really vibrant and alive.
But the further I went, the quieter and more residential the area got. I found myself pedaling through these really peaceful neighborhoods, with shorter buildings and hardly any traffic. Just people hanging out, sipping tea, and going about their day. It was a totally different vibe from the busy main streets.
That's when I reached Menaka, a place that's famous for this amazing local drink called Kulukki Sarbath . The name “kulukki” refers to the sound made when this drink is prepared by shaking vigorously in a cocktail shaker or a tightly sealed bottle or sealing tightly it with a glass (as it is popularly done by the street vendors). Sarbath is a sweet chilled beverage. In short it is sweet and spicy shaken lemonade.
It has a very unique taste made by heavily shaking a blend of lemon juice, green chilies, basil seeds, sugar syrup, salt, water and ice cubes.
I used to drink this a lot from my school days . I remember it being just 5 INR (0.06 USD ) when i had it for the first time . Now its around 20 INR ( 0.24 USD ) .
Fully Refreshed after having the drink I rode back to my place .
Thanks for stopping By .!!
