  • About

Obviously, in the Muslim world there is no wine with the meal; but the food flavors are strong, and namby-pamby sodas or regular iced tea really don’t do the job.

This beautiful, jade-green drink has enough energy to do the job. The ice can be crushed in a food processor.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups flat-leaf parsley leaves (about 2 ounces)
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice

Method

Place the parsley, lemon juice, crushed ice, and sugar in a blender. Purée until the mixture is smooth and a bright pea-green color. Pour into small glasses and serve immediately.
