What is Doodh Soda?

While Doodh Soda may sound new to film audiences, it has been around for ages. It is popularly enjoyed in both India and Pakistan. Many families in Old Delhi continue to enjoy the drink as part of their summer tradition.

It is made using milk and lemon-lime soda, such as Sprite or 7-Up, in equal parts. The flavour is not the same when more milk is used than soda, or vice versa. Some people also use cola or Fanta in place of lemon-lime soda. The contrasting beverages, when blended together, create a refreshing taste, which is sweet, creamy, and fizzy.

Digital creator shows how it’s made in Pakistan

Recently, digital creator Sahilogy shared how the drink is actually made on the streets of Lahore, Pakistan. In his video, the milk is first heated in a large kadhai. Then, two special metal vessels are used to mix sugar and hot milk. They are placed in ice-cold water in an even bigger, wider steel vessel and rotated for a long time until the mixture cools. A red Coca-Cola is added to one vessel with milk and sugar, and an orange Fanta to another. It is mixed well and ready to drink.
