What is the basic doodh soda?
Doodh means milk in Urdu and Hindi. The basic drink is cold milk, sugar and soda poured over ice. A Dawn report describes it as popular in Rawalpindi and inner Punjab, where shops mix it to order.
Common variations
- Lemon-lime soda version: older shops often use 7Up or a similar soda with milk and lots of ice. This is the best-known style.
- Soda water version: plain soda water with milk and sugar, less lemony than the 7Up style.
- Syrup-flavored: customers often add a flavored syrup (sharbat) such as Rooh Afza.
- Hot-milk winter style: in winter some shops make it with hot milk instead of cold.
Related drinks that are not doodh soda
- Almond milk: milk boiled with sugar and almonds, cooled and served with ice, sold in the same shops.
- Lassi: a yogurt drink, sweet or salted.
- Milkshake: milk blended with fruit or ice cream, with no soda.
Tips for making it at home
- Chill both the milk and the soda first.
- Dissolve sugar or syrup in the milk before adding soda.
- Pour the soda in slowly over ice to limit foam.
- Serve right away; the fizz fades quickly and the mix can separate.
The milk may look slightly curdled with acidic sodas. That is normal for this mix, but if the milk smelled sour before you started, do not use it. Quantities are a matter of taste, so start with a little syrup and adjust.
