This sharbat which I am sharing is made during whole month of ramadan in kashmiri homes. It's one of the first drink consumed while breaking fast. It's main cooling ingredient are the sabza seeds/ babri beol (kashmiri). They completely absorb the days heat and leave you filled hydrated and refreshed.
Ingredients :
500 ml boiled and cooled full cream milk
1 litre water
One big handful of sabza seeds / basil seeds
4 green cardamom pods crushed
1/2 cup chopped coconut
5 tbsp sugar
Method:
Soak sabza seeds in 2 glasses of water in a big vessel at least for an hour or more so they are all puffed up. After an hour in same vessel add in cold milk. Give a good stir. Then add in sugar. Stir well. Next add in crushed cardamom pods and remaining water mix All this well with an chai choncha/tea spatula. See to that the sugar is completely dissolved. At end add in the chopped coconut and serve chilled in individual glasses.
You can add few Strands of saffron for touch of color.
Tip:
Dry coconut flakes can also be used instead of fresh ones.
