Chef’s Note
- For BP patients: Use 1 part Rubina Sharbat with 4–5 parts chilled water or ice.
- For diabetics: Skip honey completely. Always dilute well and consume after breaking the fast with dates and water.
- Don't waste the leftover boiled beetroot pulp — reuse it to make delicious kebabs, salads, or raita!
Serving Suggestion (Iftaar)
- Layer a glass with ice cubes, soaked sabza seeds, chopped tender coconut malai, and fresh mint leaves before pouring the concentrate and topping up with chilled water.
