Measure the jallab syrup and cold water into a large pitcher.
Noin 1 min
Kokin vinkki: Ensure the water is very cold, as this will help the syrup dissolve more easily and contribute to a more refreshing final drink.

Stir the syrup and water vigorously with a long spoon until the jallab syrup is completely dissolved and evenly combined.
Noin 2 min
Kokin vinkki: Continue stirring until no streaks of concentrated syrup are visible at the bottom of the pitcher, ensuring a consistent flavor throughout.

Säilytä hyvänä

Kokin vinkki:

Jallab is wonderfully versatile. Consider adding a splash of rose water or orange blossom water to the pitcher for an extra floral note. It pairs beautifully with light Middle Eastern pastries or fresh fruit. For a more festive presentation, you can also add a few fresh mint leaves to each glass.

Säilytys

Store leftover Jallab in a sealed pitcher or airtight container in the refrigerator. Add garnishes just before serving.

Uudelleenlämmitys

Jallab is best served cold and should not be reheated. If it loses its chill, simply add more ice.
