My review
Strawberry, Ginger and Mint Sekanjabin
The Magpie
"This syrup is based on an ancient Persian recipe, and it keeps virtually indefinitely without any special care. Excellent for camping, and truly refreshing on a hot, hot day! And there's no waste, you use every part of every ingredient in this stuff. After straining, remove the lemon peels and ginger and toss in a bag of sugar for a candied treat!"

This is wonderful. I was suprised by the vinegar but it prompted me to learn more about Sekanjabin. Thanks for a great recipe and cultural lesson.

OK, I'm biased because I wrote this one, but I have to admit it's by far my summer favorite -- and my guests, too :)
