Since the holy month of Ramadan falls in the summer this year, it will be difficult for Muslims to fast from sunrise to sunset. Muslims must drink more after Iftar to prevent dehydration because the body loses fluids during the meal.
The following traditional Ramadan drinks can all help you stay hydrated.
Jallab:
One of the most popular Ramadan drinks in the UAE and the Middle East is Jallab. This drink is standard in most homes throughout Ramadan. To beat the heat and stay hydrated, it is made with dates, grape molasses, and rose water and served with loads of ice. Jallab typically has few calories, no artificial sweeteners, and is easy to digest.
Amar al-Din:
Amar al-Din, arguably the most well-liked Ramadan drink, can be sipped either at Iftar or Suhoor. It is the ideal way to begin Iftar because it has just the right amount of sugar to stimulate the digestive system without overdoing it. Amar al-din, which can be made from dried apricot paste or rolled apricots, has beneficial characteristics such as vitamins, metabolic regulators, and digestive aids.
Tamarind:
The tamarind, or tamer in Hindi, is another traditional drink consumed during the holy month of Ramadan. It is a sour-sweet beverage created from the paste of tamarind fruits, sugar, and water. Tamarind might be the best Ramadan beverage for individuals who do not enjoy sugary beverages.
Coconut drink:
Coconut water is the best option for people who feel dehydrated after being unable to drink for a prolonged amount of time. There are no synthetic ingredients; everything is organic and natural. Coconut is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes that nourish the body and fight dehydration. Also, it’s fantastic because it won’t create an insulin and blood sugar increase.
Dates Milkshake:
Dates are frequently consumed as the first food item to break the fast immediately following the call to prayer at sunset. According to custom and following the Prophet Mohammad’s (SAW) teachings, the majority of people prefer to marinate the dates in milk the day before they are served. Other folks frequently enjoy eating plain dates and drinking milk, which is another simple and practical approach to ingesting them.
Kharoub:
Traditional Egyptian drinks known as kharoub gained popularity there. Due to its reputation as a pleasant, nutrient-rich, and refreshing drink, it is particularly well-liked in the Middle East. Due to its high levels of fiber, protein, and antioxidants, kharoub, is also known as carob juice. Compared to other drinks, its thick consistency may make it harder to consume, but it is pleasant and healthy.
Sobia:
Sobia can be colored white or red and is made by lightly fermenting brown bread, barley, spices, and sugar. The beverage is very well-liked in Saudi Arabia, where street vendors frequently sell it in plastic bags during the holy month.
