Mogra Sharbat Recipe: How To Make Mogra Sharbat
To make mogra sharbat, first, we need to wash the mogra flowers nicely and remove their stems. Boil water in a pan and add the mogra flowers to it. Allow them to steep in water for 10 to 15 minutes. This will help bring out their flavour. Now strain the liquid through a mesh to get rid of the flowers. Heat the water again and add sugar and cardamom powder. Once the sugar dissolves completely, switch off the flame and bring it to room temperature. Transfer the sharbat to a jug and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. Serve in a glass filled with ice cubes, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
