Bael sherbet
Its summer time folks. So how about a chilled glass of bael sherbet after coming home from the hot sun. It’s an excellent way to beat the heat. If you are making this beverage, remember not to make it too dilute. It should be gelatinous and somewhat chewy. Some people don’t add sugar to it if the fruit is very sweet but then again, its optional and according to your taste. You can make this sherbet and store in an airtight glass bottle in the refrigerator.
