- Talk about apricots and for sure you will find my tongue wagging. I have a serious fetish for apricot drink.
When I saw the picture of the apricot drink “Qamardeen” in Rafeeda’s blog “The Big Sweet Tooth.” I had daydreams cuddling a cup of that. Then, dropped the perfect moment, Ramadan month, yipee. Loads of dry fruits in the markets. I headed straight to the sweet sweet sunshine apricots.
Back at home I couldn’t wait. I also felt my friends may like it for iftar so had to do it immediately. Well that’s just an excuse… I can’t wait, Now that’s the real reason.
You could check out the original recipe here,
and the scroll down for my version.
Changes in my version
I made a small quirk to the recipe as I don’t get any apricot leather , so, used soaked dry apricots. The result was fantastic with a touch of orange rind and rose water.
I have a huge batch of this baby now which at the rate that I am “tasting “, I just believe may not last for more than a day.

Thank you Poonam.
Thank you so much for trying and linking back… I am sure it tastes much better with dried apricots since the sheets may give a little unpleasant taste of the oil used to flatten and preserve it… Lovely clicks too…
It’s my pleasure. Thank you very much
