A staple at Iraqi Ramadan meals, this apricot drink takes just minutes to make by dissolving dried apricot fruit leather in hot water and blending it until smooth. Serve over ice for an intensely fruity, naturally sweet drink.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Soften the fruit leather

10 min

Mix the fruit leather, torn into small pieces, with the hot water and leave for 10 minutes. The pieces will soften and break down on their own.

2

Blend until smooth

4 min

Blend the softened fruit leather with its soaking water until smooth, then stir in the lemon juice.

3

Serve

1 min

Pour the drink into glasses filled with ice and serve immediately.

Reminder

Tear the fruit leather into small pieces before adding it to the water; otherwise, it will take a long time to dissolve and leave lumps. This recipe has no added sugar: the apricots provide enough natural sweetness.

Hiç şeker eklemeden yaptım ve kayısının kendi tatlılığı gerçekten yeterliydi, ikindi çayının yanına harika gitti.

Pestili küçük parçalara yırtmadan direkt suya attım, 10 dakika sonra hâlâ büyük parçalar halinde duruyordu ve blender bile tam pürüzsüz bir kıvam yakalayamadı, şerbetim topaklı kaldı.

Haklısınız, parça büyüklüğü burada gerçekten önemli; pestili mümkün olduğunca küçük yırtıp suyu biraz daha sıcak tutarsanız erime çok daha hızlı ve pürüzsüz olur.
