6 Ramadan-friendly drinks to savor this holy month

Since Ramadan has arrived during cooler climes this year, here are some drinks that are good for hydration and bring the taste.

  • Qamar Al-Din

    The apricot liquid nectar will boost your energy and spirits. All you need to do is soak the cut-up pieces in boiling water, add sugar (as desired) and drink cooled.

  • Vimto

    The staple drink on many Ramadan tables for generations hails from the UK and is a sugary blend of fruits, berries and secret herbs.

  • Karkadeh

    This refreshing hibiscus tea can add just the perfect touch of tarty sweetness to your palate.

  • Saudi coffee and karak tea

    Both have become synonymous with Ramadan for their distinct bold flavors steeped in history and culture. Typically social drinks, they are best enjoyed with family and friends.

  • Sobia

    This lightly sweet coconut or barley-based drink is popular in Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

  • Water

    Do not underestimate the power of a good glass of water in its natural form. But it can be still, sparkling, or infused with rose or fruit.
