This syrup also known as Ater is used on basically every middle eastern dessert recipe. As if the sugar content in most sweets isn’t enough, we need to add more. But it just makes it THAT much better.
This makes a small batch, but you can double or even triple it to yield a larger batch.
Keep it refrigerated in an airtight container or jar and use it at any time!
