Syrian Parsley Lemon Drink
(from The Intolerant Gourmet)
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.
1 ½ cups fresh
flat-leaf parsley leaves (about 2 ounces)
½ cup lemon juice
2 ¾ cups crushed ice
2 tablespoons sugar
Place parsley,
lemon juice, crushed ice and sugar in
blender. Puree until the mixture is smooth and a bright pea green
color. Pour into small glasses and serve immediately.
Makes a scant quart; about eight to twelve servings
