Frequently Asked Questions About Mint sherbet
What is mint sherbet?
Mint sherbet is a sweet, mint-flavoured drink, not usually a frozen dessert. In Turkish-style recipes, mint is steeped in sweetened water, then the drink is strained and served chilled; some versions also include lemon.
How do you make mint sherbet at home?
To make mint sherbet, warm water with sugar until the sugar dissolves, then take it off the heat and add fresh mint. Let it steep, strain out the leaves, and chill the drink before serving.
What ingredients are in mint sherbet?
Mint sherbet is typically made with water, sugar, and mint. Lemon juice or other flavourings may appear in some recipes, so the exact ingredients vary; it is not necessarily made with dairy or frozen like a dessert.
Is mint sherbet the same as mint sorbet?
No, mint sherbet is generally a drink, while mint sorbet is a frozen dessert. The names can be confusing because “sherbet” refers to different things in different countries; Turkish-style mint sherbet is served as a beverage.
Does mint sherbet contain caffeine?
Traditional mint sherbet made with water, sugar, and mint contains no caffeine. A bottled or specially flavoured version could have other ingredients, so its caffeine content would depend on what was added.
Should mint sherbet be served hot or cold?
Mint sherbet is usually served cold. Chill it after steeping and straining the mint; serving it over ice is also possible, though the melting ice will dilute the flavour.
How long does homemade mint sherbet keep in the fridge?
Keep homemade mint sherbet in a covered container in the refrigerator and drink it within a few days. Discard it if its smell, appearance, or taste changes noticeably.
Can you make mint sherbet without sugar?
Yes, you can make mint sherbet without sugar by steeping mint in hot water and chilling the strained drink. Lemon can add a bright flavour, but the result will be less sweet than traditional sherbet.
Can you use dried mint to make mint sherbet?
Yes, dried mint works in mint sherbet. It can taste more concentrated than fresh mint, so start with a small amount, steep it briefly, and strain it out before chilling the drink.
Why does mint sherbet taste bitter?
Mint sherbet can taste bitter if the mint is boiled for too long or crushed heavily. Add the leaves after taking the sweetened water off the heat, steep them briefly, and strain them out.

What is Mint sherbet?
Naneli şerbet, or Mint sherbet, is a traditional Turkish sweet drink made by flavoring water with mint and sweetening it. Recipes vary: fresh or dried mint may be used, and some versions include lemon. Despite the English name, it is a drink, not a frozen dessert.
It is usually served chilled, especially in warm weather, and may be offered to guests or poured at an iftar table. Its energy comes mainly from carbohydrates, with very little protein or fat. If you prefer a less-sweet drink, make it with less sugar and serve it over ice alongside a meal or as a small refreshment.
