However, no matter how good the main course or the dessert is, there is certainly a feeling of dissatisfaction if the vast menu is not accompanied by something made from the old and trusty rooh afza. Rooh afza is one of the most classic features of Eid al Adha and is made quite frequently on this occasion. However, having the same old rooh afza drink can become a bit boring. To give an innovative twist to the classic rooh afza recipe, here are some delicious dishes and beverages that you can make at home.
* Rooh Afza Lemonade
Rooh afza lemonade is the perfect respite from the scorching heat outside. The body is already very dehydrated and the urge to drink something is hard to ignore. However, drinking basic lemonade, or water as a drink can become a bit boring after some time. So a great way to combine the goodness of these two different drinks is to make a fusion drink by mixing them together. This is a refreshing and minimally sweet drink that has the citrusy flavours of lemons, and at the same time, the rosy touch of roohafza. One has to make lemonade regularly and then in that mixture add a little bit of rooh afza. Also, garnish the drink with a lot of fresh mint leaves before serving it with lots of ice. The drink will have a beautiful red colour and a refreshing taste.

* Rooh Afza Lassi
Lassi is one of the most satisfying beverages, especially in the summer. As it is made from curd, it is very digestive and helps in tackling the problem of inflammation in the stomach. Generally, people like to have lassi as it is by adding a little bit of sugar. But this lassi can be instantly transformed into a special drink by adding some rooh afza to the chilled lassi. One has to simply take some fresh curd and dilute it by adding water. This has to be mixed in a food processor to make a frothy mixture. Now add one tablespoon of rooh afza along with sugar as per taste. Blend this well in the food processor and serve it with a lot of ice cubes.

* Rose Ice Cream
Having a delicious bowl of creamy and flavourful ice cream is just the right way to conclude a meal. But having the basic butterscotch and vanilla ice cream can be a bit basic for a special occasion like eid. To elevate the eid menu this year, one can introduce the special rose ice cream in their menu that is going to be loved by everyone in the friends and family group. This is a fresh, creamy and very floral-tasting ice cream. To make this ice cream at home, one has to simply take some rooh afza, heavy cream, milk, and dry fruits. Mix heavy cream, milk, and a little bit of rooh afza and a food processor to make the creamy mixture for ice cream. Put this in a container and store it in the refrigerator after sprinkling some chopped dry fruits on the top.
* Rooh Afza Shrikhand
Shrikhand is a very famous dessert in India that is conventionally made from ingredients like saffron, pistachios, cream, and milk. This year one can introduce the special rooh afza shrikhand recipe in their eid menu to impress friends and family. To make this super easy yet delectable dessert, one has to take a pan and add condensed milk, greek yoghurt, and a little bit of rooh afza for flavour.
