Serves:  5

Mango juice: 500 ml (readymade)

Khus khus syrup: 10 tbsp

Chilled soda: 500 ml

Lemon juice: 5 tsp

Lemon slices: 5

Method

Take a tall glass.  Put one tablespoon of crushed ice in the bottom of the glass. Pour three tablespoon of khus-khus syrup. Tilt the glass little bit and pour a half cup of mango juice slowly along the sides of the glass. The green layer of khus-khus syrup should not get disturbed. So be careful while pouring mango juice.

Garnish with a lemon slice on the rim. Insert a stirrer and a straw and serve immediately. Do the same for the rest of the four glasses.

This beverage is stirred while sipping to blend the sugariness according to your taste. This easy to make sharbat is made from mango fruit juice and poppy seeds. It will delight your family and keep you feeling energised this summer.
