Method

Dissolve the grape molasses, date molasses and rose water in the water in a large pitcher. To serve, stir in raisins and nuts, and pour into glasses with lots of ice cubes.

In Syria and the Middle East, pre-made jallab syrup is sold in bottles. But you can also make it yourself by mixing equal amounts of grape and date molasses.
