Ramzan 2018: 8 Ramzan Special Sharbats To Make At Home For Sehri And Iftar

Muslims across the globe are observing Ramzan or Ramadan 2018, which started on 17th May, 2018. Believers keep a month-long fast, followed by celebrating Eid-Al-Fitr or Meethi Eid. The day-long fast generally includes eating pre-dawn meals known as sehri or suhoor and after sunset (maghrib) meals known as iftar. It is important to load up on healthy foods and drinks during sehri that keep your body hydrated through the day. In fact, it is equally important to break your fast with the right drinks. Considering it is summertime, make sure you start and end your fast with hydrating and cooling sharbats. If you are planning an iftar party, you can include these sharbats to ensure a refreshing end to your day.

Many health experts suggest that you should never break your fast with caffeinated drinks like tea or coffee. As per Nutritionist Dr. Simran Saini from Fortis Hospital in New Delhi, after a long day of fasting, one must avoid drinking caffeinated drinks. It can lead to an upset stomach, loose motions, gastric irritability, acidity, et al. Instead, you must drink the following sharbats that will immediately refresh you from a long day's fasting period.
