Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Khus Mint Sharbat

For a creamier texture, use full-fat milk.
Adjust the amount of khus syrup to your preference. Start with less and add more as needed.
If using fresh mint, bruise the leaves slightly before adding them to release their aroma.
For a more intense mint flavor, use mint paste instead of leaves or powder.
