SHARBAT COCKTAIL Recipe courtesy Mab Abbasgholizadeh and the League of Kitchens Sharbat is a traditional sweet cordial from Iran that can be made with many different kinds of fruits, flowers, and flavorings. Saffron plays an essential role in Persian cuisine and culture and is considered both an antidepressant and an aphrodisiac. As Iran is a Muslim country, alcohol is banned, and Sharbat is traditionally made as a non-alcoholic drink. This cocktail version was one that Mab and her friends would make and share at underground parties in their community of women activists. Sharing this drink was an act of defiance towards the regime, and it also symbolized their desire to experience freedom and pleasure within a restrictive society. 2 tablespoons saffron water (see additional recipe) 1 tablespoon chia seeds soaked in ¼ cup of hot water for 2 hours 2 tablespoons rose water 3 tablespoons simple syrup 2 jiggers of vodka (6 tablespoons) 2 slices of lemon 4 ice cubes Mix together the saffron water, soaked chia seeds, rose water, and simple syrup. Pour this mixture into three small cocktail glasses. Combine the vodka, lemon, and ice cubes in a cocktail shaker, and shake vigorously. Pour the vodka into the three cocktail glasses, and don’t stir. The cocktail should have two distinct layers. Makes 3 drinks Eshel National LGBTQ+ Retreat 2021 ABB-E ZAFEROON (Saffron Water) Recipe courtesy of Mab Abbasgholizadeh and the League of Kitchens 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, preferably Iranian 2 tablespoons hot water Put the saffron in a small bowl and grind to a fine powder with a pestle.

The Art of Persian Cooking (Hippocrene International
Forough-es-Saltaneh Hekmat HIPPOCRENE BOOKS This book is dedicated to Dr. Albert H. Domm, of Los Angeles, who restored me to health; to the many American friends who urged me to write it, and to my country, Iran, which inspired the unique cuisine and poetry presented herewith.

It was their urging that persuaded me to commit my knowledge of Persian cooking to paper. Increased communications and extensive travel from one country to another have made a pygmy of our world to a point where all men are neighbors.
