Ingredients
- 8 cups orange blossom honey
- 5 cups water
- 2 cups white wine vinegar
- 12 large sprigs fresh mint
Instructions
- Stir honey and water together in a pot; bring to a boil and stir constantly until honey dissolves. Add vinegar, reduce heat to low, and simmer until syrup flavors combine, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Submerge mint in hot syrup and cool to room temperature.
- Remove and discard mint. Chill syrup in the refrigerator.
- Store in a sealed container; a clean 2-liter soda bottle works great. Chill several hours before serving.
Reviews
This was very good, and very reminiscent of the “shrub” drinks of “olden times”.
Well done Exactly we eat Secanjabin with lettuce leaves
I replaced the Mint with 2 cups of Rose petals, and simmered them in the pot for 20 minutes, then strained them out.
This “Sekanjabin” recipe is for a syrup which can be used to make a drink (sharbat-e sekanjabin). Iranians like to dip lettuce leaves in the undiluted syrup as well for a refreshing summer snack. Thank you Desert Damsel for sharing your recipe.
