Ramadan Recipes: Jallab

Jallab is a traditional drink that is popular in Middle Eastern countries, especially during Ramadan. It is made from a mixture of date syrup, grape molasses, and rose water, which are combined with water and ice to make a refreshing beverage. Some variations of the drink may also include ingredients such as pine nuts, raisins, or even coconut. Jallab is typically served cold and is a popular way to break the fast during Ramadan, as it provides the body with the necessary sugar and hydration after a day of fasting.
