Nungu Sarbath recipe, Summer coolant

Nungu sarbath is a popular street side drink sold in South India. Learn how to make this thirst quencher, as well as body coolant for the summer.

Sarbath in street side shops are really tasty and different. I have had only couple of times while travelling. Once in my childhood and once in recent years. But remember the unique taste. The syrup is really different, as well as the lime they use. They give it with seeds, still no complains. Both the times I tasted, I was extremely thirsty. So it might have been doubled the taste.

What we get these days are less flavourful and more sugary. But grateful atleast we get those here in Singapore. Before when I buy rose, nannari syrup, it used to get empty really soon. But now a days it’s too sugary that I could not complete the drink.

Wanted to try nungu sarbath badly and since I got a palm fruit pack, thought I should try this and nungu rose milk that i posted earlier. It was too good that it tasted like some jelly drink. The texture of the nungu was really enjoyable.
