Sherbet (powder)
Sherbet, also called Sherbert, or Soda powder, is a fizzy, sweet powdered sugar, usually eaten by dipping a lollipop or liquorice, using a small spoon, or licking it from a finger. == Etymology == The word "sherbet" is from Turkish şerbet, which is from Persian شربت, which in turn comes from "sharbat شربات", Arabic شَرْبَة sharbah, a drink, from "shariba" to drink.
