Today’s recipe is watermelon
sharbat/ mohabbat ka sharbat - this summer quencher is from the streets of
Delhi and a very popular watermelon and rooh afza drink. It is much better and
healthy as compared to sodas or cold drinks which we sometimes drink to get
relief from scorching heat. It can be prepared two ways. I will share the other
version some other day. It is very hot here in India and if you are looking for
something refreshing but quick and easy to make, then don’t waste time, this
watermelon sharbat hits the right spot. It is cold, refreshing and just what
you will need to cool your body heat down. It had become very popular in old
Delhi streets and if you are not in Delhi you should still be able to enjoy
this drink. It is very easy and simple to make and needs very few ingredients
for this. Here in this recipe we need rooh afza, but if you don’t like it you
can replace it with rose syrup. It is a perfect drink to make your friends and
will definitely help to beat the heat.
