shakes and drinks in this hot season that can help to keep us

and beat the scorching heat. Cool and tasty drinks are
the best to quench your
thirst, but the icing on the cake is when
they are loaded with multiple health
benefits. If you want to reap
the benefits of both, try khus drink.
What
is khus drink
Khus drink is the ultimate summer cooler and the
plant belongs to the family of other fragrant grasses such as lemongrass,
citronella and palmarosa
The green coloured concoction can be prepared either by using khus roots or
you can buy khus sharbat, which is readily available in the market.
The one readily available in the market is generally loaded with sugar and
other colouring agents. If you do not want to buy it then you can make it
yourself at home using khus roots. For that, clean the khus roots properly and
then soak them into drinking water for three days. Strain the water and your
summer cooler drink is ready. The khus roots can be used thrice for preparing
the drink. So, after taking it out from the bottle, keep it in the Sun for a
while and use it again.
