Hydrating Sabja Refresher to Beat the Heat!
The scorching sun is upon us, and staying cool from the inside out becomes essential for our well-being.
To help you beat the heat, we bring you a refreshing drink powered by an ingredient nature designed for summer—sabja seeds, also known as sweet basil seeds. These tiny seeds can absorb up to four times their weight in water, creating a hydrating gel that replenishes lost electrolytes and supports hydration during sweltering days.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, sabja seeds go beyond hydration. They have a calming post-digestive effect on the gut, offering relief from common summer troubles like acidity and gastrointestinal discomfort triggered by heat and electrolyte imbalances.
Here’s a simple, cooling recipe that combines hydration with gut care. Give it a try, and let us know how it works for you!
Serves: 2

- ½ tbsp sabja seeds (also known as basil seeds or tukmaria)
- 2 tsp raw and unpasteurized honey (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

- Ice cubes (optional)
