To make paan shots Drink, you need Calcutta paan fresh leaves which are dark green in colour.

Use paan masala which consists of dried coconut shavings, gulkhand, sweet candied cherries,cardamom & may other ingredients. Do not use cherries here. You will get all this from a paanwala store.

Take a blender jar and add the betel leaves by tearing them into small pieces.

Now add the paan masala to this.

Now we add the gulkhand. Gulkhand is a paste made with fresh roses for their sweet and unique taste. In case you don't find gulkhand, you can use a combination of sugar and rose syrup but that will not taste like gulkhand.

Now add the fennel seeds. This is an important ingredient to get the proper taste of the paan

Add the ice cubes as well.tlThis will not only make the paan shot mixture cold but it will also impart to its texture.

Finally add the ice cream now.This gives the creamy texture and a little sweet taste to the paan shot. you can also use full fat milk for a creamier taste as well.

Close the lid of the mixture and blend all the ingredients till you get a smooth mixture

Remove the mixture in a glass jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This is important as this helps the flavours of all the ingredients of the paan shot drink come together.

Pour equal quantities into 12 shot glasses. Garnish the paan shot with almond and pistachio slivers or the paan masala if you like.

Serve the paan shots Drink chilled.
