Sekanjabin (Iranian Mint Vinegar Syrup)
Sekanjabin stands as a classic Iranian drink, offering delightful refreshment on sweltering summer days. Ideal for outdoor occasions, as you can prepare the syrup weeks in advance and dilute it when ready to serve. Simply blend 4 to 5 tablespoons of the syrup with ice water and garnish with mint for a refreshing treat.
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.
Notes
- Store in a sealed container; a clean 2-liter soda bottle works great. Chill several hours before serving.
