Sekanjabin

Sekanjabin (also sikanjabin, sekanjamin) is a traditional Iranian beverage. Similar to the Greek Oxymel Sekanjabin is most often served iced and flavored with mint.

Syrup of Simple Sikanjabîn (Oxymel)

Andalusian p. A-74

''Take a ratl of strong vinegar and mix it with two ratls of sugar, and cook all this until it takes the form of a syrup. Drink an ûqiya of this with three of hot water when fasting: it is beneficial for fevers of jaundice, and calms jaundice and cuts the thirst, since sikanjabîn syrup is beneficial in phlegmatic fevers: make it with six ûqiyas of sour vinegar for a ratl of honey and it is admirable.''
