Saunf Sharbat Premix | Fennel seeds drink Premix
ಸೋಂಪು ಕಾಳಿನ ಶರಬತ್ ಪ್ರೀಮಿಕ್ಸ್ |
This fennel seeds or saunf sharbat and its premix is no doubt a wonderful drink which helps in keeping your body cool during summers with soaring temperature – so do not forget to keep stock of this excellent premix, specially during summer season, have a glass of this fennel sharbat and you will really feel that coolness from within and get energised as well
Please remember we should use the small sized fennel seeds to make this sharbat and apart from having cooling properties fennel seeds posses numerous other health benefits, such as it aids in good digestion, reduces bloating, boosts immunity, these tiny seeds are a good source of fiber, vitamins and minerals.
I have put powdered (at home) red rock sugar, which is said to have the cooling properties and also has numerous health benefits when consumed and sometimes I also put Palm rock sugar, which again offers several potential health benefits
I have also put a small quantity of sesame seeds in this premix, which elevates the fiber content, calcium content, nutrition level, vitamins etc in it
Below I have mentioned the ingredients in small quantity, so that you can prepare this premix in a very small quantity at first and later if you like this, you can definitely make in large quantity, specifically if you are making this for the first time
And always do remember for consuming anything, anytime, moderation is the key ! I mean… it’s always best to consume things in a balanced and reasonable way, avoiding extremes or excesses in this as well as all areas of life for that matter
Sometimes I do rinse and wash the fennel seeds first in enough water, drain all the water, then dry the seeds on a clean cloth until fully dried under the fan then proceed with preparing the premix and some other times I clean/wipe the fennel seeds using a dry cloth and proceed with the next steps, so this can be made in any of these two methods
