Inspired by Iraq’s spice traditions, this drink is made by pressure-cooking bulgur, then simmering it with ginger and black pepper and straining it. The concentrate can be stored in the freezer and diluted before serving.

Bal bulamadığım için hurma pekmezi kullandım, tatlılığı benzer oldu ama rengi biraz daha koyu bir kahverengiye döndü. Zencefilin acılığını dengelemesi açısından yine de işe yaradı.
