Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kharroub?
Kharroub is a traditional Lebanese drink made from carob molasses diluted with water and served over ice. It is typically consumed as a refreshing beverage, particularly during the summer months or at festive gatherings.
What is the ideal ratio of carob syrup to water?
A standard ratio is 60ml carob syrup to 500ml water, though you can adjust this based on the syrup's concentration and your personal preference for sweetness.
Should I use hot or cold water to mix the syrup?
Use cold water: mix the syrup directly with cold, filtered water and whisk vigorously until it is fully incorporated before adding ice.
Can I replace carob syrup with carob powder?
No, carob powder does not dissolve easily and lacks the concentrated sugar content needed for this drink; you must use authentic carob molasses or syrup.
How can I tell if my carob syrup is good quality?
High-quality carob syrup should be thick, dark, and have a rich, roasted flavor without any burnt aftertaste or added artificial sweeteners.
