Qamar Al Deen or Apricot Leather Juice

#cookpadindia #middleeastern #newrecipe Qamar Al Deen literally means Moon of the Religion. It is basically dried form of Apricots made into a sheet or a roll commonly known as Apricot Leather. It has a lovely texture and a peculiar aroma. In Arab cuisine this is made into an amazing Juice and relished in the Holy Month of Ramadan. It originates from Syria where the variety used for Qamar Al Deen was grown for the first time. This drink is enjoyed in Middle East, North Africa as well as in Somalia. But to date, Qamar Al Deen from Syria is still considered the best because the variety of Apricots used for making this Apricot Leather is grown only in Syria and South Western Turkey. In Iran, it is known as Lavashak and extensively relished as a dried Fruit Roll. It's a great drink and tastes absolutely delicious. Fresh Juice is different from this in many aspects and both have their own different tastes and flavours. It's available in every small grocery shop in the Middle East. For people staying there, it's absolutely easy and can be made and relished on any given day.
