At Bordo Mavi, we take pride in not only bringing the rich flavors of the Black Sea to your plate but also offering a beverage experience that is steeped in history and tradition. One of our most treasured offerings is the Reyhan Sherbet, a signature drink crafted with a 600-year-old Anatolian recipe. This centuries-old tradition has been lovingly preserved and infused into a refreshing and flavorful beverage, offering a true taste of history with every sip.
A Journey Through Time: The History of Reyhan Sherbet
Reyhan Sherbet, or “Basil Sherbet,” has its roots deep in the culinary traditions of Anatolia, a region that has been a melting pot of cultures and flavors for millennia. This beverage was once a staple in the Ottoman Empire, enjoyed by sultans and commoners alike for its refreshing properties and health benefits. The recipe has been passed down through generations, with each family adding its own unique touch while preserving the essence of the original.
At Bordo Mavi, we are honored to carry forward this ancient tradition, offering our guests a drink that connects them to the rich cultural heritage of Anatolia. Our Reyhan Sherbet is crafted with the same care and dedication as it was centuries ago, ensuring that every glass is a faithful representation of this timeless beverage.
The Art of Crafting Reyhan Sherbet
The secret to Reyhan Sherbet’s enduring appeal lies in its simple yet powerful ingredients. At Bordo Mavi, we use the finest fresh basil (known as “reyhan” in Turkish), which is the heart of this drink. The basil is carefully infused into water, allowing its aromatic oils to release their full potential. This infusion is then sweetened with a touch of sugar and balanced with a splash of lemon juice, creating a drink that is both refreshing and complex in flavor.
The result is a beverage that is more than just a drink—it’s an experience. The basil lends a fragrant, slightly peppery note, while the lemon adds a bright, tangy contrast. The sweetness is subtle, allowing the natural flavors of the basil and lemon to shine through. Each sip of Reyhan Sherbet is a journey through time, capturing the essence of a 600-year-old tradition in a modern, refreshing form.
