Homemade Honey:  Also known as Miel Maison or Assal Manzili, this sugary syrup is a common substitute for honey in Morocco and Algeria.  The process is simple and the end results are surprisingly… like honey! 

1kg sugar 
Filtered water
1 lemon, juiced
3T mazyana_brand orange blossom water 

Add your sugar along with 3 standard tea glasses of filtered water (each glass holds approx 3/4c of water) to a pan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally.  Add the juice of a lemon plus enough water to top off the tea glass (or enough to amount to 3/4c of liquid total). There should be 4 tea glasses or approx 3 cups of liquid per 1kg of sugar. 

Bring to boil, reduce to simmer and cook until the sugar has thickened and it turns a warm amber color, about 15 minutes.  Keep an eye on your sugar once it starts to brown as it can go from brown to burnt very quickly.  Once the sugar is a deep amber color, VERY CAREFULLY add your orange blossom water plus enough water to top off the tea glass (or enough to amount to 3/4c of liquid total). It will bubble violently. 

To test the consistency of your honey, spoon some onto a plate.  It should be relatively thin but firm enough to hold its form.  Add another tea glass of water if the consistency is too thick.  It will thicken significantly as it cools. 

When using, I reheat the honey slightly can make it easier to use to submerge things like chebakia. 

If this is something you make at home, let us know in the comments below how you make yours.

As always, b’saha & bon appetit!
