Ingredients
- wood apple (bael fruit) - watch the video to see (ripe, quantity as needed for juice extraction)
- sugar - watch the video to see (to dissolve in juice, adjust sweetness to taste)
- water - watch the video to see (used for diluting and cooking to preserve sherbet)
- salt - watch the video to see (a pinch to cut sweetness and enhance flavor)
- cumin seeds - watch the video to see (to add freshness and a pause in flavor)
Instructions
- Extract Wood Apple Juice: Extract juice from ripe wood apple (bael fruit) by cracking open the fruit and scooping out the pulp.
- Prepare Sherbet Base: Dissolve sugar in the extracted juice. Optionally, add a pinch of salt and cumin seeds for a slightly salty and fresh flavor.
- Two Preparation Methods: Method 1: Filter the juice after sugar dissolves and serve chilled. Method 2: Add water to the juice, cook the mixture, then filter it. This method allows the sherbet to be stored in the fridge for the entire summer without spoiling.
- Chill and Serve: Keep the prepared sherbet in the refrigerator and serve chilled as a refreshing summer drink.
