Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients:
- If you’re using dried mint, measure out 2 tablespoons. If you have fresh mint leaves, wash and chop them.

Mix Yogurt and Salt:

Add Mint and Rose Petals:
- Incorporate the dried mint or fresh mint leaves into the yogurt mixture.
- Add the crushed dried rose petals. Mix thoroughly.
Introduce Carbonated Water:
- Slowly pour the carbonated water into the yogurt mixture while stirring continuously. If you prefer a still drink, you can use still water instead. The carbonation adds a refreshing fizz to the drink.
Include Ice Cubes:
- Add the ice cubes to the mixture. This helps to chill the drink and makes it more refreshing.
Stir Well:
- Stir the ingredients well to ensure that the yogurt, mint, and rose petals are evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
Garnish:
- Take four stalks of fresh mint and use them as a garnish. Place them in the serving glasses or directly in the pitcher for a decorative touch.
Add Cucumber Slices:
- Place the cucumber slices in the serving glasses or in the pitcher. The cucumber adds a crisp and cool element to the drink.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Pour the Doogh into glasses and serve immediately. The combination of yogurt, mint, and cucumber creates a refreshing and delightful drink, especially on a warm day.
Optional:
- If desired, you can adjust the salt or mint according to your taste preference.
