A summer street drink in Lebanon, jallab is made by mixing date molasses and rose water with cold water, then topping it with pine nuts toasted in an air fryer. The toasted nuts add a crunchy contrast to the sweet drink.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Toast the Pine Nuts

5 min

Toast the pine nuts in the air fryer at 160°C / 320°F for 5 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally. If you do not have an air fryer, toast them for the same amount of time in an oven preheated to 160°C / 320°F.

2

Mix the Drink

3 min

Mix the date molasses with the rose water and cold water.

3

Chill with Ice

30 min

Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

4

Serve

2 min

Fill glasses with ice, pour the drink over it, and serve topped with the toasted pine nuts.

Reminder

Be sure to chill the drink with ice before serving; it tastes heavy when served warm. Contains pine nuts (tree nuts).
