Simple Sharbat
1/2 Cup Willow Blossom Water or Sweet Prier
1 Cup Snow or Shaved Ice or Several Ice Cubes
1 tsp. Baker's Sugar (fine granulated sugar)
1 Tbsp. Mint Water (optional)
2 tsp. Grenadine (optional, for color)
Combine the ingredients in a medium to small glass & enjoy! If you'd like to use a large glass, simply double the ingredients or use 1/2 cup flavored water + 1/2 cup plain water.
Sharbat Syrup
1 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Water
1 Tbsp Flavor Water such as Rose or Orange Blossom (or 2 tsp. Rose + 2 tsp. Orange Blossom)
Sprinkling of Lemon Juice
Heat the sugar & water in a small pot over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Turn the heat to low & stir in the flavored water & sprinkling of lemon juice. Simmer for about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat & pour into a clean jar. Allow to cool before securing the lid. Store in your pantry or cupboard.
To make sharbat, pour a little bit of the syrup into a glass (about 1-2 Tbsp. or more depending on glass size) & then pour in some water & plop in the ice. Serve with a long spoon to stir it all up. You can also simply add a little syrup to the simple sharbat recipe above.
