Sharbat (Persian: شربت; also transliterated as shorbot, şerbet or sherbet pronounced [ʃərbət̪]) is an Iranian drink also popular in Turkey, South Asia, Caucasus and the Balkans. It is prepared from fruits or flower petals. It is a sweet cordial, and usually served chilled.

 Sharbat (syrup) is made by preparing the decoction or infusion of the ingredient drugs or by taking the juice of the fruit, which is then mixed with sugar and boiled to a required consistency (2). The invention of Sharbat is attributed to Pythagoras (an ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician)

Methid: 

 In a medium-size pan add the fruits, water, and the spices

Bring it to a boil and continue to cook on low medium heat for about 30 minutes

With a skimmer drain and take out the fruit into a colander.

Add the sugar into the fruit water and continue to cook until sugar dissolve for about 5 more minutes on low heat.

 The remaining pulp of the fruits will still have some juice left. So drain that valuable juice as much as you can, helping by pressing with a back of a wooden spoon and add the juice back to the pan.

Turn off the heat and pour the sherbet into a pitcher and let it completely cool down.

Add the sherbet to the refrigerator and chill completely. It will be concentrated so when serving you can add more cold water and ice cubes. Usually, it gets about 1+1/2 liter more water but you can just taste and adjust the amount as you wish
