Nannari sarbath/ Nannari sharbet is a delicious and flavorful summer drink prepared with nannari syrup, lemon juice, sabja/ basil seeds and water. This nannari syrup is prepared from nannari roots/ sarsaparilla which has lot of medicinal properties. This is a much relished and much needed drink in summer to act as body coolant, a healthy way. I added sabja/ basil seeds to make it more appealing, yummy,and to add more health benefits and also as I have always used to drinking it that way. I still remember the days from my childhood when my mom used to take us for shopping specially in annual vacation and after all that shopping she used to get this drink for us fresh from a well known shop, always have admired them making it and I used to insist the shopkeeper to add the white chewy seeds i.e sabja seeds, and we used to gulp the whole drink in one shot and it will boost and refresh us immediately. After when I went to Dubai my mom used to get these nannari syrup bottles from India to prepare the sherbet for us, so I have written this post just like the one she makes at home, hope it helps you guys as well. adjust the syrup quantity and water as needed. The measurements mentioned are for one drink for more just increase the quantity. So lets get to the making!
