Carafe (Six Servings - 48 fluid ounces / 1.4 Liters)
- 6 Tbsp date syrup (silan, or date honey)
- 6 Tbsp grape molasses
- 6 Tbsp pomegranate syrup (or grenadine)
- 3 tsp rose water

Mix all syrups, add water and stir to combine. Pour into glasses with crushed ice and top with pine nuts. Serve immediately.
If you like golden raisins as well, you can rehydrate in a small bowl with a bag of jasmine tea. Pour boiling water over and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes. Drain and top your beverage with the raisins as well. You can also include the tea as part of your 'water' if you like the flavour.
