How to make Bael ka sharbat

Break one bael and scoop out all of its pulp into a dish. Add 2 glasses of water to the mixture after you’ve removed all of the pulp. Mix and mash it thoroughly, then strain it through a soup sieve. Put the thick pulp in a bowl, add 1 glass of water, mash it back up, and filter it. At this stage, you can store pulp in a glass container covered with a lid and keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Mash it again gently with cooled water. Pour it into a strainer and press it against a sieve with a wooden spoon. Remove as much pulp as possible while leaving the big fibers behind.
Add sugar and Stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
