Kokum also has a cooling property and is used to make refreshing drinks known as Kokam Sherbets during the dry, sultry summers.
Kokam is also used in the Malabar region as a substitute of tamarind.
Fresh and ripe kokam fruits are cleaned and cut into two pieces and seeds are removed. Then these pieces along with sugar are
kept in transparent glass jars and jars are kept under sunlight for around 8-10 days.
When the sugar melts and the juice is naturally extracted from fruits and over a period of time syrup
is formed. This syrup is filtered and some preservatives are added into it before packing it and later sold.
