  1. This looks very good, Preethi 🙂
    I suppose, that you are able to buy these seeds in bigger quantity to be able to use them in food?
    Here I can buy a small bag for seeding in the garden…

      1. I haven’t seen such big packs here, but I will go and ask in our health shop. I don’t have much soil in my garden, mostly stones, so I don’t have much to show from here. I rent this house, so I can’t just change it 🙂

  2. Super liked this such a refreshing drink for summers with pineapple mint and lemon.. basil seeds add on the look and nutritional benefits..

  3. Wow, wish I could immediately reach out for a glass as its really hot and humid for the past few days. Have not heard of Kulukki Sharbath but its definitely is a must try. With pineapple am sure it must be so flavorful.

  4. Adipose sharbat . I have heard zo much abt this kulukki sharbat that I was yearning to taste it. Now that I have the recipe I will surely make it to cool us this summer heat
