Refreshing, Rejuvenating and Recharging Summer and Iftar Special Drinks
About Ramadan
Greetings! Ramadan is, the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, where Muslims around the world observe fasting from sunrise to sunset. This period of fasting, known as Sawm, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is a time for reflection, prayer, and community.
To dedicate more time to Ibaadah (worship), many households aim to simplify or pre-plan their cooking. During Ramadan, it’s common for families to enjoy Suhoor (the pre-dawn meal) and Iftar (the meal at sunset to break the fast), with meals that are both nourishing and easy to prepare. The cooking is often done in advance, and quick recipes are favored.
Understanding the need for preparing meals ahead of time, one prominent request I receive during Ramadan is to share recipes in advance. This allows for a comprehensive food chart to be assembled for the 30 days of fasting. To facilitate this, I thought it would be valuable to provide a collection of recipes from respected Food Bloggers across the globe well ahead of time.
By doing so, you can organize and tailor your food chart to suit your tastes and needs. To kick things off, here is a curated list of 40 must-try refreshing drinks that are perfect to quench your thirst after a day of fasting. These drinks are not only hydrating but also provide the necessary nutrients to help sustain you through the fasting hours.
40 Refreshing Drinks for Ramadan
As drinks serve as a cornerstone in the observance of fasting, the moment of breaking the fast with a cold, revitalizing beverage at Iftaar time cannot be overstated. It’s not just about quenching thirst but also about recharging the body with much-needed energy. Understanding this, I have curated an extensive selection of drinks that transcend the ordinary to deliver comfort, refreshment, and a revitalizing jolt.
Starting with milkshakes, I’ve included recipes that are creamy and luscious, yet perfectly balanced to avoid heaviness. Indulge in a variety of flavors, from classic shakes to wonderful fruits, all tailored to be as nourishing as they are delicious.
Smoothies are next in the lineup, designed to pack a punch of vitamins and minerals using fresh fruits and vegetables. These blended treats are not only energizing but also serve as a quick and healthy snack that can sustain you throughout your fast.
Refreshing lemonades are a staple in countless homes during this sacred time, and for good reason. They’re simple to make and infinitely adaptable. Options ranging from the traditional freshly squeezed lemonades to more innovative versions infused with herbs and spices.
Refreshing Summer Drinks
Additionally, I have incorporated the concept of cool relaxation with a range of iced teas. From the robust flavors of black teas to the delicate nuances of green teas, these beverages are steeped in tradition and infused with modern twists.
Vibrant mocktails also make an appearance, adding a touch of sophistication to your Iftaar. These non-alcoholic concoctions are not only visually stunning but pack a flavorful punch that can make any evening feel like a special occasion.
Finally, no drink selection for the fasting season would be complete without including the wholesome goodness of lassis. These yogurt-based beverages are not only cool and soothing but also come in a variety of flavors, from sweet mango to savory spices, fulfilling the needs of every palate.
