  2. Then you can add optional ingredients like roasted crushed makhana (foxnuts), chopped nuts, charoli (chironji), dried grated coconut, and raisins.
  3. For a more spiritual Panchamrit, you can also add ganga jal (water from the Ganges river), tulsi (holy basil), and rose petals. Mix everything together well.
  4. Your Panchamrit is now ready to use for abhisheka (ceremonial bathing of the deity) or to distribute as prasad (blessed offering).
Notes
Feel free to skip or adjust any of the additional ingredients to your taste and preference.
You can prepare the Panchamrit ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use for puja (worship ceremony). The chilled Panchamrit will be thick and refreshing.
