Panaka to me always refers to fruit juice which has jaggery in it.
You need the following to make honeydew panaka :
Honeydew : 2 wedges
jaggery: 1/2 cup or according to taste (powdered)
Powdered Cardamom : 1 big pinch
Water as required
Take all ingredients in a blender and blend to make juice. Remove and serve.
A real refreshing drink for a sunny day.
