Experience the taste of summer with this authentic Palestinian frozen beverage, perfect for hot days. Best enjoyed fresh; can be stored in the freezer for up to a week. Stir before serving if frozen solid.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of water with 1 cup of sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add 1 cup of fresh lemon juice to the mixture, followed by 1 tablespoon of orange blossom water for added fragrance and flavor, if using.
Incorporate 1 teaspoon of yellow food coloring into the mixture, adjusting to achieve your desired shade. Mix well to ensure even color distribution.
Pour the mixture into a shallow container and place it in the freezer. Allow it to freeze for about 1-2 hours, or until it begins to set but is not completely solid.
Using a fork, scrape the partially frozen mixture to create fluffy ice crystals. Return the container to the freezer and let it freeze completely.
To serve, scoop the frozen beverage into chilled glasses and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint leaves.
