Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy Indian soft drinks online in Australia?
You can buy Indian soft drinks and South Asian beverages online at Velspices.com.au. Our range includes basil seed drinks, jaljeera, mango lassi, rose sharbat, nannari syrup, and popular Indian branded soft drinks, all available for delivery across Australia.
What is a basil seed drink?
A basil seed drink (also called sabja drink or tukmaria drink) is a refreshing beverage made with water, sugar syrup, and sabja seeds (sweet basil seeds). The seeds expand when soaked in water, forming a gel-like coating. They are believed to have cooling properties and are popular across South Asia, especially during summer.
What is jaljeera and how is it made?
Jaljeera is a traditional Indian spiced lemonade made from water, cumin (jeera), black salt, tamarind, mint, and various spices. It has a tangy, savoury flavour and is believed to aid digestion. It's a popular summer cooler served at festivals and street food stalls across India.
What is nannari syrup?
Nannari syrup is a South Indian speciality made from the roots of the Indian Sarsaparilla plant (Hemidesmus indicus). It has a unique earthy, sweet, and slightly aromatic flavour. When mixed with water and lemon juice, it creates a refreshing drink traditionally believed to have cooling and detoxifying properties.
Can I buy mango lassi online in Australia?
Yes! Velspices stocks ready-to-drink mango lassi — the thick, creamy South Asian yoghurt-based drink blended with mango. Order online and have it delivered to your home across Australia.
Do you sell bulk soft drinks for parties or events?
Yes, Velspices offers soft drinks for purchase in larger quantities, ideal for parties, events, festivals, and restaurants. Browse our drinks range and contact us for any bulk ordering enquiries.
What is rose sharbat?
Rose sharbat is a traditional South Asian drink made from rose petals or rose extract blended with sugar and water. It has a fragrant, floral sweetness and a beautiful pink colour. It's enjoyed across India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh during summer and festive occasions like Ramadan and Eid.
Are Indian soft drinks good for health?
Many traditional South Asian beverages are made from natural ingredients with known health benefits. Jaljeera aids digestion, sabja seeds are high in fibre, nannari has cooling properties, and rose sharbat is believed to reduce body heat. Of course, like all sweetened beverages, moderate consumption is recommended.
Do you deliver drinks across Australia?
Yes. Velspices delivers soft drinks and beverages Australia-wide. Orders over $50 receive free delivery in Melbourne metro. Nationwide shipping rates apply for customers in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and regional areas.
What is the difference between mango lassi and mango juice?
Mango lassi is a yoghurt-based drink blended with mango pulp — thick, creamy, and filling. Mango juice is simply the pressed or pureed juice of mangoes, thinner in consistency and without dairy. Both are delicious and popular South Asian beverages available at Velspices.
