Coffee or Coke: What can you drink while fasting for Navratri?

With Navratri celebrations in full swing, you may be planning to observe a fast. And while everyone knows what's okay to eat and what's not for the most part, beverages are where things get a bit confusing. When it comes to packaged or processed drinks, most people believe that they should be avoided as it is hard to know what went into their production. But it is commonly accepted that drinking tea and even coffee along with homemade drinks like buttermilk or chaas and fresh fruit juices are allowed.
