Fennel sharbat is quite easy to make at home and requires just a few ingredients. Here's how to make it:
Ingredients 1 cup fennel seeds
4 cups water
1 cup sugar
1 lemon, sliced
Ice cubes
Method
- In a large pot, add the fennel seeds and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the water has boiled, reduce the heat to low and let the fennel seeds simmer for around 20-25 minutes. This will allow the flavor of the fennel seeds to infuse into the water.
- After 20-25 minutes, turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down. Once the mixture has cooled down, strain it through a fine mesh strainer to remove the fennel seeds.
- Add the sugar to the fennel-infused water and stir until it dissolves completely. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the mixture and stir again.
- Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for a few hours or until it is completely cool.
- Once the sharbat has cooled down add ice cubes to a glass and pour the fennel sharbat over the ice. Garnish with slices of lemon and serve.
