How to Make Buransh Sharbat
If you're using fresh Buransh petals, here's the method:
- Clean Thoroughly: Rinse petals gently under cold water to remove dust or insects.
- Boil and Steep: Simmer petals in 1 cup of water for 5 minutes. Let it steep for 15–20 minutes to extract colour and essence.
- Strain: Use a fine mesh or cloth to strain the liquid, pressing petals lightly to extract maximum juice.
Tip: Fresh Buransh flower juice has a tart base. Stir in 3–4 tablespoons of sugar while boiling if you prefer it sweet. Or swap sugar with raw honey after straining.
If you're using ready-made Buransh syrup:
- Skip the boiling step.
- Adjust sweetness as per the brand you’re using—many syrups already contain jaggery or sugar.
- Mix the syrup directly with cold water and lemon.
Now, assemble the drink:
- Combine Buransh juice or syrup with chilled water and lemon juice.
- Stir well, add ice cubes, and drop in a few mint leaves.
- Optional: Add soda water for a fizzy version.
Serve immediately.
