A glass of sattu sharbat to quench your thirst this summer. Recipe inside

Summer is here. So is the constant need of hydrating our bodies in order to stay fit and healthy. With the heat waves and the scorching sun taking away the last bit of energy from our body, it is important to keep a check on the ways we can start the morning in order to have all the energy to go through the day. Sattu is a great way to start the day. The nutrient-loaded food item can be made into a sharbat and can be consumed in empty stomach or after keeping an adequate amount of gap from the last meal. Keeping in mind the scorching heat of summer and the need of hydrating our body often, Chef Kunal Kapur shared a super easy recipe of sattu sharbat – both sweet sattu sharbat and salted sattu sharbat – on his Instagram profile a few days back.
