The present invention relates to an improved process for preparing a substance for consumption by human beings to get refreshments and attain relief from indigestion and gastric problems. In particular, the substance prepared according to the present invention pertains to geographically indicated, nationally called an widely known 'Jaljira' having no chemical, technical or oiher specific term used for the said substance. Accordingly, the substance of the present invention hereinafter referred to as 'Jaljlra' is prepared by adding different apices and ingredients in a fixed percentage which is capable of being dissolved in water and when the said substance is dissolved in water it possesses a pleasant and tasty flavour and at the same time is healthful, nutritious, appetizing, thirst quenching including the capacity of releasing mental depr-esslon.
It may here now be mentioned that of all the refreshing drinks, the moat popular and cheaper is the jaljira water because it is cooling, appetising, nutritious and thirst quenching, of which the last quality is rarely met with tlie costly juice or water of other edible fruits as available, in view of the above, the substance Jaljira' is generally prepared from spices and ingredlentei which are cheaper and readily available and are added in any proportions and dissolved in cold/hot water for serving in a mainner similar to serving cold drink/coffee. It ie found by experience that the time required for the preparation of such beverages by the substance 'jaljira* is practically swift when jluiok service of perfect drink is dema-
nded, as in hotol B, restaurants and family get-togetters. However, to secure the beat results in making such beverages care Is required to be taken in selecting the required quality, proportion/quantity and finally the time required for dissolving the substance in water such that the beverages may be clear and possess to the fullest extent the flavour and desirable taete.
Thus, the substance •jaljira* as known in the art and commonly prepared in all households consist of uniting together different spices in guessed proportions in water for personal consumption but it is observed that the processed Jaljira in the common household is found to be associated with several disadvantages because tjie final preparation is either too salty or too citric or extremely bitter and at the same time is
labourious and time consuming.
Accordingly, to overoome the above disadvantages it may here be stated that; readymade Jaljira in the form of powder or grains become accessible and the said available readymade Jaldjira eorisiats of the spices in the proportions as defined hereinuhder :-

However, it may here be noted that the aforecaid available re-adymade Jaldira is found to be non-flavourous, unpleasant in ita taste, non-appetielhg and unhealthy.
In view of the above shortcomings and to overcome the same, the present invention provides an improved process for preparing a substance hereinbefore referred to as 'Jaljira' which is simple and easy to prepare.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an improved process for preparing a substance 'Jaljira' which is economical and affordable by common people end may be prepared and dissolved in water quickly in all seasons.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved process for preparing a substance 'jaljira' which has good nutritious value in order to acx as a good tonic in the form of a beverage*
Yet another object of the preeent invention ie to pro* vide an improved process for preparing a substance 'Jaljira' which acts as an appetiser and may be served before meals.
Keeping the above objects in mind, the present invention provides an improved process for preparing a instance called Jaljlra* as herein defined for consumption by human beings consists of initially cleaning and roasting in separa-te pane the following spices or ingrediente -

and thereafter in another pan the foresaid spices or ingredients are put together to which are further added the following spices and ingredients -
3% black pepper;
2% chilli (red pepper);
3% black salt;
60% white salt;
13.95% citric (large lemon) Juice;
and the said united matters are then grinded in a conventional
grinder to obtain the substance in granular or powder form is
characterised in that 1% of clove is introduced to achieve the
distinctive values as herein defined.
The subetance 'Jaljira' of the present invention which is quickly soluble is prepared in a manner such thav the characteristica of flavour and aroma of roasted materials are retained unchanged in the solid extract and all the extractive matter is takeii out of the materials as is desirable, to secure the best result is in the matter of taste, flavour and oharaeter of nutritive material in the finished product.
To facilitate instantly use the substance 'Jaljira' of the present invention, it is preferred to prepare the said substance 'Jaljira' In a rather coarse granular form. This condition of preparation of the substance 'Jaljira' in general better resists the hydroscopic tendencies of the product although it may be prepared in any degree of fineness desired.
The spices and the other ingredients needed to prepare
the substance 'Jaljira' of the present invention as per the
percentage by weight are given below :-
Local Name: Percentage:
English Name (In Hindi) (nearby)

Accordingly, the substance 'Jaljira' of the present invention is prepared by utilising the aforesaid spices and the ingredients wherein the requisite spices or the ingredients are initially cleaned -thoroughly and roasted in a 1 am separately. Thereafter, the said spices and the Ingredients in the percentages daflndd hereinbefore are added together in another pan not neoessarlly in the order as stated above and at-Accordingly, the substance 'Jaljira' of the present invention is prepared by utilising the aforesaid spices and the ingredients wherein the requisite spices or the ingredients are initially cleaned -thoroughly and roasted in a 1 am separately. Thereafter, the said spices and the Ingredients in the percentages daflndd hereinbefore are added together in another pan not neoessarlly in the order as stated above and at-
irred thoroughly after which the united matter is grinded to the powder form thereby producing the substance of the preaent invention.
Needleas to mention, the properties of the spices and the ingredients utilised herein may vary widely but depending on the characteristic desired to be imparted to the final product the said spices and the ingredients are preselected. In addition, no particular apparatus for roasting and grinding need be described herein as it form no part of the present invention since such apparatuses being well known are available in the market.
The product prepared by the above described process constituting the substance 'jaljira' is in granular or powder form and of extreme solubility in water which can either be cold or be hot and when one or two teaspoonful of the substance 'Jaljira' depending on taste preferred is dissolved in a glass of water then the solution is formed in one minute or leas and produces a beverage having the pleasant blended flawur and taste of the original roasted materials. The beverage prepared vary somewhat in colour which is usually light brown to black and at times is semltraneparent when less quantity of the sub-stance 'jaljira' is dissolved in large volume of water. The substance 'jaljira' is prepared preferably in a coarse granular form or fine power form and is made available in ready to use packings.
It may here however, bo noted that the inventive idea
involved is capable of being expressed in a variety of way, one of which is heretohefore specially described hut specific example given is solely for the purpose of illustrating the invention and not for the purpose of defining the limits thereof since reference is made to the claims for this purpose.
