Rooh Afza is a concentrated syrup made from natural ingredients such as rusa petals, herbs, fruits and other extracts. This syrup is usually mixed with water and milk and poured into a large bowl with ice and then served in individual glasses. It was originally conceived as a medicinal drink created by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed in the early 20th century, with the aim of soothing the symptoms of extreme heat. It is also a popular refreshment during Ramadan.
