This video explores the preparation and cultural significance of Lebur Sharbat (lemonade) in Rohingya households within refugee camps. A simple yet essential beverage, this refreshing drink is common in many homes, especially during hot summer days and Ramadan when it helps rehydrate after fasting. Through the daily lives of the community, the film highlights how Lebur Sharbat is made using basic ingredients, demonstrating both resilience and resourcefulness in an environment with limited access to fresh produce. More than just a drink, it symbolizes hospitality, family bonding, and a cherished moment of relief amid hardship.
