Jigarthanda is a cold beverage from the South Indian city of Madurai in Tamil Nadu, India.[1] Originally introduced by Rowther Muslims. It translates to "cool heart" ("jigar" means "Heart" in Persian, "thanda" means "cold") in English, implying that the drink’s cooling effect will be felt right down to one’s Heart. It is generally prepared and served at roadside stalls as a refreshment during the Indian summer. The basic ingredients include milk, almond gum, sarsaparilla root syrup, sugar and ice cream.[2]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
