Ramadan Recipe: Carob Juice (Kharoub)

Carob Juice, or Kharoub, is a traditional Middle Eastern drink enjoyed especially during Ramadan for its naturally sweet and refreshing taste. Made by boiling crushed carob pods, this beverage has a deep, molasses-like flavor with hints of caramel and chocolate, making it a delicious and healthy alternative to sugary drinks. Carob, derived from the pods of the carob tree, is packed with antioxidants, fiber, and essential minerals, supporting digestion and overall health. It’s caffeine-free and naturally sweet, making it a great choice for all ages. Additionally, can find dried carob pods in Middle Eastern grocery stores, spice markets, and online retailers.
