Indians drink about as many sherbets (pronounced shar-bats), or fruit-syrup drinks, as Iranis. For each drink, pour about a half inch of the syrup into a tall glass, add ice cubes, fill the glass with water or seltzer and garnish with a sprig of mint or a lime slice.

6 cups sugar
2 cups water
One 3-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
