Kufta bozbash is a traditional Azerbaijani meatball soup. The essence of this soup is in the flavor of the köfte (meatballs). Ground meat (usually lamb) is mixed with finely chopped onions, rice, dried mint, and dried lime flowers

This beverage is very common in Azerbaijan but also in India, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh as well as many Arab countries. It is often consumed by Muslims when breaking their fast, during the month of Ramadan. Also, because of the Islamic ban on alcohol, beverages in the Islamic world have mostly consisted of fruit juices and syrups.
