Amar Al Din is a popular drink enjoyed during Ramadan in many countries, especially in the Middle East and North Africa. It is typically served to break the fast at sunset, along with dates and other snacks. This refreshing apricot juice is easy to make and provides a much-needed burst of energy and hydration after a long day of fasting. Unlike many other drinks, it is also relatively low in calories and sugar, making it a healthy choice for those following a balanced diet.

Instructions

1.	Soak the dry apricots in water for at least 1 hour or until they become soft.
2.	Drain the water and place the apricots in a blender. Add 1 cup of fresh water and blend to a smooth paste.
3.	Pour the apricot paste into a large bowl. Add the remaining 4 cups of boiling water and stir well.
4.	Let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5.	Place a fine mesh strainer over another large bowl and strain the juice to remove the pulp.
6.	Pour the strained juice into a pitcher and refrigerate until ready to serve.
7.	Serve chilled with ice cubes or garnish with mint leaves if desired.

PROS

Amar Al Din is a refreshing and delicious drink that can help you stay hydrated during Ramadan, especially during the hot summer months.
It is easy to prepare, and the natural sweetness of the apricots means that you don’t need to add any extra sugar.

Apricots are also a good source of fiber, vitamins A and C, and potassium.

CONS

The only potential downside of Amar Al Din is that it does not contain any protein or fat, so it may not keep you feeling full for very long.
However, it is a great choice if you are looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy between meals during Ramadan.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Apricots are packed with antioxidants and fiber, which can help to promote good digestive health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. The vitamins A and C in apricots are also important for maintaining healthy skin, eyes, and immune function.
