Jallab Juice
Jallab is one of the cold drinks that are prepared in large quantities during the holy month of Ramadan for fasting people. The manufacture of this drink is famous in a large number of Arab countries, specifically in Lebanon; where it is prepared in each of them in a different way, but there is a traditional way of making it that people know, which is based on stirring water with Jallab, then adding nuts to it such as pine nuts and almonds. Jallab is prepared from date molasses juice or seedless raisin molasses; so that the seedless grains are ground, then an amount of white sugar and rose water "orange blossom" are added to it, and a little fresh lemon juice, then the mixture is placed on the fire until it boils and becomes thick and heavy, after which it is left to cool, then it is filled in glass bottles, closed tightly, and left for several days until it is ready to drink.
