Frequently Asked Questions About Diluted Molasses
How do you make Diluted Molasses?

What is Diluted Molasses?
Sulandırılmış pekmez is Turkish pekmez—usually a thick syrup made from grape or mulberry juice—thinned with water. Its concentrated, fruity sweetness becomes gentler, and the drink takes on a pourable consistency. It is not the same as diluted cane molasses.
In Turkey it may be served at breakfast or as a simple drink between meals, especially in colder weather; some households make it with warm water. It remains carbohydrate-rich despite being diluted, with 41 g of carbohydrates per 100 g. Adjust the water to taste, and pair it with plain bread or tahini for a more filling snack.
