Gisilgul Sharbati (Rose Sherbet) is a popular drink in India and Pakistan. It is often consumed during the hot summer months to cool down the body and refresh the mind. This drink is made with fresh, unsprayed rose petals, sugar, citric acid, and water. The rose petals are first mixed with sugar, then soaked in water for a few hours. The mixture is then strained to get rid of the petals, and the sweet sherbet is stored in the refrigerator until it's ready to be served. This drink is perfect for those who are looking for a healthy and refreshing beverage to enjoy on a hot summer day.

Instructions

1.	Wash the rose petals in cold running water and drain the excess water.
2.	In a large bowl, add the rose petals and sprinkle 3 tablespoons of sugar over them. Mix well and keep aside for 10 minutes.
3.	After 10 minutes, add the remaining sugar, citric acid, and 1 cup of water to the bowl. Mix well and keep aside for 4-5 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
4.	Strain the mixture through a muslin cloth or strainer to remove petals and store the sherbet in a bottle in the refrigerator.
5.	Serve chilled with ice cubes and a sprig of mint, if desired.
