Qamar al-Din is a smooth, fruity beverage made by dissolving dried apricot leather (qamar al-din sheets) in water, sometimes sweetened and infused with orange blossom water or rose water. Originating in Syria, especially in Damascus, it is a staple Ramadan drink across Lebanon and the Levant, served chilled during iftar for its naturally energizing and hydrating qualities. Often enjoyed during hot summer evenings, Qamar al-Din’s bright golden color and tart-sweet profile make it one of the region’s most iconic traditional drinks.

Common variations include blended versions or apricot smoothies made with milk.
