During the peak of summer, when the heat drains energy and the body feels exhausted, a cool and refreshing drink can bring instant relief. Lychee sharbat is one such delightful beverage that not only refreshes the body but also pleases the senses with its natural sweetness and aroma. Lychee, known for its juicy texture and fragrant taste, becomes even more enjoyable when turned into a chilled sharbat.
Ingredients
- Fresh lychees – 2 cups (peeled and deseeded)
- Sugar – 3 to 4 tablespoons (as per taste)
- Cold water – 2 to 3 cups
- Lemon juice – 1 teaspoon
- Black salt – a pinch
- Ice cubes – as required
- Mint leaves – for garnish (optional)
Method of Preparation
Start by peeling fresh lychees and removing their seeds carefully. Transfer the pulp into a blender and blend it into a smooth puree. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove any fibrous texture and ensure a smooth consistency.
Now add sugar to the lychee juice and mix well until it completely dissolves. Pour in cold water and adjust the taste by adding lemon juice and a pinch of black salt. Stir everything thoroughly and refrigerate for some time so that the sharbat becomes well chilled and more refreshing.
Serving Method
While serving, take a glass and add ice cubes. Pour the chilled lychee sharbat over it. You may garnish it with fresh mint leaves to enhance its presentation and aroma. This drink is loved by both children and adults and works perfectly as a refreshing homemade summer beverage.
