Indian Sharbats
Sharbat is popular Middle Eastern
and South Asian, sweet chilled drink, that is prepared from fruits or flower
petals. Sharbats were introduced by the invading Turks and
Persians and were originally consumed in large quantities because they
replaced the large loss of body water which occurs in India's tropical
climate. For this reason, sherbets are still offered as refreshment in
India, sometimes with the addition of alcohol. Traditional sharbats are made
of one or more of the following: lemon, orange, rose, pineapple, almonds,
papaya, water melon
