Oct 08, 2024 For those of you who don’t know what Jamun is, it is also known as black plum and is a fruit that I grew up eating in India during summers. In fact, there was a jamun tree in my grandparents backyard and I have very fond memories of picking up jamun from the tree during our summer vacations at our ancestral village. It has a tangy, kind of tart flavor and it works so well in this drink. Here in the US, we don’t get fresh jamun but we do get frozen jamuns at Indian grocery stores. You can get frozen whole jamun or jamun pulp. Working with the pulp is much easier and for this recipe so that’s what I would recommend you get. The tangy jamun pairs beautifully with the earthy and fragrant basil is this delightful drink!
