Notes
1. I have used organic jaggery to make this sharbat however you may use normal jaggery or jaggery powder also.
2. You may incorporate spices like black salt, cumin, and ginger, making it not just a refresher but also a digestive aid.
3. Squeeze of fresh lemon juice gives this sharbat a good taste.
