The apricot gets its English name from the Arabic of Islamic Spain, where it was called al-barquq, which means "precocious" because the trees bloomed early in the spring.

Ingredients

1 5-inch-square sheet of apricot paste (see note)

1 quart cold water

Sugar or Sugar Syrup, to taste

Mint sprigs, for garnish

NOTE: Apricot paste can be found at Middle Eastern stores.

Directions

1. Tear the apricot sheet into small pieces and place them in a medium-sized nonreactive bowl.

2. Add the cold water and soak until the apricot dissolves. Strain through a fine sieve and sweeten to taste. Serve cold, garnished with springs of mint.

Makes about 1 quart
