3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon rose water
1 teaspoon orange-blossom water
Combine the sugar and 1 1/2 cups water in a saucepan and heat over high
heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and continue to
boil for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, stir in the lemon juice,
and cook for 10 minutes. Then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the
rose water and orange-blossom water. Set aside to cool.
Makes 2 1/2 cups (10 one-quarter cup servings)
AuthorNote: Qatar is as ubiquitous as zaatar, the thyme spice mixture, in
the Arab kitchen. Few Middle Eastern desserts are ever presented without
the sheen of this glistening, delicately flavored sugar syrup. Pastries
are dunked, and often soaked, in it; it may be drizzled over a whole
platter of pastries just before serving; and sometimes it is served on the
side. There is one rule of thumb when using this syrup: If the dessert is
hot, the Qater should be cold when you use it; if the dessert is cold, the
Qater should be hot. Store any leftover syrup in a glass jar with a
tight-fitting lid and use it over pancakes. It will keep for 1 week.
