Fingerbowl Sherbet

The Maharaja of Ickhtarpur loves to drink up the water in his fingerbowl. With temperature soaring across many parts of India, here is our version of a fingerbowl sherbet to cool off with.

Ingredients

• A cup of clean drinking water
• Three tablespoons of rose sherbet (add more to your taste)
• 4-5 mint leaves
• One lemon, cut into quarters by an adult
• One bowl, the size of a fingerbowl

Let’s mix and squish!

Pour the rose sherbet into the bowl.

Tear up the mint leaves, add them into the bowl and squish them with a spoon

Pour in the water.

Squeeze a few drops from a quarter of the lemon into the bowl and then throw in the quarter.

Our icky fingerbowl sherbet with a squeezed out lemon and bits of food floating around is ready!

Lift and drink up!

An Icky, Yucky, Mucky song!

We promised you an ICKY, YUCKY, MUCKY SONG and here it is.

The Icky Yucky Mucky trio (!) brings the house down with a marvellously messy musical moment. Natasha Sharma, Anitha Balachandran and Anita Roy (publisher on guitar) at Full Circle Bookstore and Cafe Turtle in Delhi last Saturday.

To help you sing this at home, here are some more lyrics to get you started. Then go ahead and make up some of your own: (To be sung to the tune of “If you are happy and you know it…”)

If you are ICKY and you know it, go burp burp

If you are ICKY and you know it, go burp burp

If you are ICKY and you know it and you really want to show it,

If you are ICKY and you know it go burp burp. 

 

If you are MUCKY and you know it tik tik pthoo….

 

If you are YUCKY and you know it dig your nose ENH ENH…

Have fun singing it out!
