Eid-ul-Fitr is here and it is a lot more than just a celebration; rather, it is all about devotion, togetherness and good food. After a month-long Ramadan, this year Eid-ul-Fitr will be observed on Monday, March 31, 2025. Interestingly, Eid brings with it a wave of happiness and celebration; this is the reason why this day is celebrated with delicious delicacies and beverages like sherbets, biryanis, spicy kebabs, and sweets. One such quintessential part of the Eid celebration is sherbet, which adds a punch of refreshing taste and flavor to the celebrations. Here are 5 interesting rose-based sherbets that are perfect for Eid celebrations.
Rose Sherbet
This simple Rose Sherbet can be made by mixing 1 cup of rose syrup Roohafza with 4 cups of chilled water. Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice for a slight tang that balances the sweetness beautifully. Stir everything well, throw in some ice cubes, and garnish with fresh rose petals for that extra festive flair.
Rose Mint Sherbet
If you love a burst of freshness, then this Rose & Mint Sherbet is perfect for you. Just combine 1 cup of rose water with 2 cups of chilled water and 1/4 cup of sugar. Carefully crush a handful of fresh mint leaves to release their scent, and then stir them into the mixture. Add plenty of ice cubes and garnish with mint sprigs. The mint’s coolness beautifully complements the floral rose.
Rose Pista Sherbat
For those who enjoy rich, creamy flavors, the Rose & Pista Sherbat will be a showstopper. Blend 1/2 cup of rose syrup with 3 cups of chilled milk. Toss in 2 tablespoons of crushed pistachios for a nutty crunch, and add 1 tablespoon of sugar if you’d like it a bit sweeter. Stir everything well until the sugar dissolves, then serve it over ice cubes and sprinkle a few whole pistachios on top.
Rose Lemon Sherbet
If you’re in the mood for something tangy and refreshing, the Rose & Lemon Sherbet will hit the spot. Mix 1 cup of rose water with 4 cups of chilled water.
