Sugar syrup
Also called: Sharoobo sokor (Soomaali) · Sirop de sucre (Français) · قطر (شيرة) (العربية)
Good to know
This is a simple syrup of sugar and water, often with lemon juice and a flavouring such as cardamom or rose water. The lemon stops it crystallising. Pour cool syrup over hot sweets, or hot syrup over cooled ones, so they stay crisp.
