Keep cool with our take on an icy Persian treat: Sharbat. Start by infusing water with sugar, honey, McCormick® Cardamom and Cinnamon sticks and hibiscus flowers. Once strained and cooled, this fragrant syrup is combined with club soda over ice for a fizzy, sweet and tart drink that’s as refreshing as it is beautiful.

Place 1 cup water, sugar, honey, cardamom pods and cinnamon sticks in a small saucepan. Bring mixture to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low. Stir in hibiscus flowers; simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Allow mixture to cool slightly. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove cardamom pods, cinnamon sticks and flowers. Cool completely or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Mix syrup with cold seltzer. Serve over ice in beverage glasses. Garnish with cinnamon stick, if desired.
