Kokum Sherbet is readily available at local stores? So why make it at home? Firstly, Kokum Sherbet that you find at your local supermarket has preservatives and other additives and usually contains sugar. This takes away the goodness of Kokum. The Kokum Sherbet recipe that we have for you is completely sugar free as we are using jaggery, its much healthier and nutrient-rich counterpart. This Sherb ... et is actually quite easy to make and even if you don’t know anything about cooking, you can easily make it at home. It only takes about 15 minutes to make Kokum Sherbet at home and this recipe serves up to 2 people. Especially during summer, when you feel like having something cold and relaxing, Kokum Sherbet is an excellent choice as it is one of the best ways to beat the heat. Kokum has a cooling effect on our body and can aid in digestion and help relieve acidity. A touch of Jeera powder, Black salt, pepper and salt help balance the sourness of the Kokum and help you experience a plethora of different flavours in a single sip. You can easily store this Kokum syrup in a container and keep it in the fridge for days as long as you store it in an airtight container. Kokum Sherbet tastes best when served chilled. Add a few ice cubes to your Sherbet if needed and you can also top it with some mint leaves for extra freshness.
