How to Make Kurdish Lemonade
- Boil 6 cups of water in a saucepan.
- Add 4-6 sun-dried limes (Omani lemons) to the boiling water and let them simmer for 20 minutes. This will soften them and infuse the water with their unique flavor.
- Remove the sun-dried limes from the water. Allow the water to cool slightly.
- Juice 2 large fresh lemons and strain out the seeds.
- In a large pitcher, combine the cooled lime-infused water, fresh lemon juice, 1/2 cup of sugar (or to taste), 1 tablespoon orange blossom water, 1 tablespoon rose water, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves.
- Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Fill a tall glass with ice, pour in the lemonade, and top with water or club soda. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a lime wedge (optional).
