November 08, 2022

The dining table is a place to enjoy delicious food with loved ones while creating lifelong memories. A well-paired serveware and dish can raise the event to new heights. “A family that eats together stays together” is indeed a true statement. 

Glassware

Clinking glasses to a new beginning or savouring some chilled desserts at the main course’s ending- glasswares are perfect for celebrations. With Nestasia’s wide range of glasses and tumblers, you’ve got the option to choose glassware that complements the beverage & desserts and lets everyone enjoy and savour delicacies to the fullest. 


1. Gondhoraj Masala Cola

Starting the recipe blog on a refreshing note with the Gondhoraj Masala Cola. The Gandharaj lemon is a beautifully fragrant variety of lemon indigenous to Bengal, and a squeeze into any dish can enhance the flavour. The Gondhoraj trend picked up via social media with the inclusion of the zesty flavouring and the pretty lime green colour being infused into any and every dish.


Not shying away from a trend, we put our cooking hats on to infuse the flavoursome element into the classic masala cola. Let’s start with the recipe so that you can try out the refreshing drink for yourself.


Ingredients:

- 1 teaspoon salt
