Cooling Drink -Sharbat

According to Ayurveda the summer period is when Kapha dosha is reduced and vata dosha is increased. Due to the severe heat we tend to get dehydrated so it is important to have lots to fluids ...sweet drinks like sharbat are traditionally drank in India to cool the body...

Sharbat is a popular Indian "juice" that is prepared from fruits or flower petals. It is sweet and served chilled. It can be in concentrate form and eaten with a spoon or mixed with water to create the drink. Sharbats enrich our blood with enzymes, minerals and vitamins. Today, when we put great stress on being fit, the old traditional sharbat is well suited to cater to the fast lifestyle.

Recipes for Lemon Sharbat is as easy as mixing Fresh lemons , sugar and chill water. You can do the same for Passionfruit Sharbat just add passionfruit juice and seeds with sugar and water....so easy and so good
