Sharbat-e khakshir/khakeshir is a very refreshing Persian summer drink. Although this drink is mostly known as a thirst quencher during hot summer days it can be enjoyed all through the year as a delicious soothing drink with many health benefits. Serving your guests ice-cold, lightly sweetened sharbat-e khakshir with a touch of rose water on a warm day is a great way to welcome them and make them feel at home. Khakshir drink is a natural and herbal liver detox. It is also known to improve the skin and reduce fever among many other benefits. Growing up in our home khakshir drink wasn't made as a sugar-sweetened, ice-cold summer drink. My mother would give us khakshir all year round just for its medicinal purposes without adding any sugar or ice cubes.
