Namaskar. Welcome to nishamadhulika.com
Today we will make Saunf sharbat.
This is very tasty and refreshing sharbat.
It also helps in digestion.
Let's start making Fennel seeds sharbat.
This is 1 cup soaked fennel seeds.
Wash the fennel seeds well in water,
clean it and soak in 1.5 cup water for 5 hours.
These are 40 cardamoms washed and soaked in water.
Let's grind these.
Take out the fennel seeds in the jar.
Add 2 to 3 tbsp sugar in it,
it then becomes convenient to grind fennel seeds.
First add water from fennel seeds to it, then add more water.
Fennel seem dry add more water.
Grind it fine.
Fennel seeds are grinded fine.
Put it in strainer to strain.
Drain out all the fennel seeds juice into the bowl.
Take out the coarse fennel seeds from strainer,
keep it in another bowl.
Grind all of the fennel seeds likewise.
Fennel seeds juice is strained.
Add 1/2 cup water to the coarse fennel seeds and mix.
Strain it once more,
If desired you can grind it once and strain.
Juice from fennel seeds is strained.
Keep it aside.
Now to grind soaked cardamom put in a jar.
Add some sugar to it and grind until very fine.
Strain it same as the fennel seeds.
Remove the cardamom fibre from it.
Fennel seeds and cardamom juice is ready,
now let's make syrup for the sharbat.
Pour 1 kg sugar in a vessel.
Add juice to it as well.
Cook it with sugar until,
it is very dense in consistency.
Stir it at regular intervals.
Sugar has completely dissolved in juice.
We have to cook it until dense.
Check and cook it at intervals like this,
When the syrup becomes dense,
and last drop falls as thread, then syrup is ready.
Stir and cook it.
Take out the dense foam from the side of the vessel,
scoop it out and keep it in a bowl.
All of the foam is removed from the sharbat.
This is the fibre which is removed, it was as foam.
Sharbat seems dense lets check it.
Drop it from the ladle.
The last drop should fall as a thread.
Last drop is falling as a thread.
Sharbat is dense.
Turn off flame and let it cool.
Sharbat has cooled off, let's strain it.
Concentrated Saunf Sharbat is ready.
To serve take glass, add 2 tbsp sharbat to it.
Now add cold water to it and some ice cubes as well.
If you do not want chilled sharbat, skip adding ice.
Cool and refreshing Fennel Seeds sharbat is ready.
This is a medicinal sharbat.
It is refreshing and improves digestion.
If due to hot summer a childs nose is bleeding,
give it to them for 2 days, you will see the bleeding stop.
This is very benefecial sharbat.
Fill the concentrated sharbat in bottle, keep in fridge.
You can use it for more than 2 months.
If in summers you have a dry throat and feel thirsty,
after drinking this , you will be relieved of that too.
Do not add black salt and lemon to this sharbat at all.
Fennel seeds have a very mild taste,
but lemon and black salt have a very stong taste.
If you mix them it will taste more like a shikanji,
the taste of fennel seeds will be supressed.
