Ingredients

For 4 servings

  • Rooh Afza syrup1/2 cup
  • cold water3
  • fresh lemon juice2 tbsp
  • mint leaves10 pc
  • sugar2 tbsp
  • ice cubes1 cup
  • rose petalsto taste whole
  • chopped pistachios2 tbsp
  • chopped almonds2 tbsp
  • cardamom powder1/4 tsp

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine '1/2 cup' of Rooh Afza syrup and '3 cups' of cold water. Stir gently until the syrup is fully dissolved, creating a smooth and vibrant base.

  2. 2

    Add '2 tbsp' of fresh lemon juice to the mixture. This adds a refreshing tanginess that balances the sweetness of the syrup. Stir well until fully incorporated.

  3. 3

    In a separate small bowl, muddle '10 mint leaves' using the back of a spoon. This releases their essential oils, infusing your drink with a fresh aroma. Set this aside for later.

  4. 4

    Taste the mixture for sweetness. If you prefer it sweeter, add '2 tbsp' of sugar gradually, stirring continuously until completely dissolved. The sweetness should be balanced with the tartness of the lemon.

  5. 5

    Prepare serving glasses by adding '1 cup' of ice cubes to each glass. The ice will chill the drink and keep it refreshing as you serve.

  6. 6

    Pour the Rooh Afza and water mixture over the ice-filled glasses, filling them about three-quarters full. The vibrant color should be visually appealing.

  7. 7

    Add a spoonful of the muddled mint leaves to each glass. This will enhance the aroma and add a touch of green color to the drink.

  8. 8

    Garnish each glass with a few whole rose petals. This not only adds a beautiful presentation but also brings floral notes to the drink.

  9. 9

    Sprinkle '2 tbsp' of chopped pistachios and '2 tbsp' of chopped almonds on top of each drink for a delightful crunch and a nutty flavor.

  10. 10

    Finish by dusting a pinch of '1/4 tsp' of cardamom powder over each glass. This adds a warm and aromatic finish to your refreshing beverage.

  11. 11

    Serve immediately and enjoy your authentic Rooh Afza Sharbat while it's chilled. The combination of flavors and textures will be a delightful experience!
