Tips & Tricks
Adjust the sweetness of the sharbat by adding more or less of the saunf mishri premix, according to your preference.
For a cooling effect, add a pinch of cardamom powder or a few drops of rose water to the sharbat.
Ensure the ingredients for the premix are completely dry before grinding, to prevent clumping.
You can also use regular sugar instead of mishri, but mishri adds a unique flavor and is considered healthier.
