Frequently Asked Questions About Molasses water mixture
What is a molasses water mixture?
A molasses water mixture is a drink made by stirring pekmez, a Turkish fruit molasses, into water. It is commonly prepared with grape pekmez, though other fruit molasses can give it a different flavor.
How do you make a molasses water mixture?
Stir pekmez into cold drinking water until it dissolves, adding it gradually until the drink tastes right to you. Make it fresh and mix thoroughly; there is no need to boil the mixture.
Can a molasses water mixture help with iron deficiency?
A molasses water mixture contains some plant-based iron, but it is not a treatment for iron deficiency. Iron from plant foods is less readily absorbed, so do not use the drink instead of prescribed care.
Does a molasses water mixture raise blood sugar?
Yes, a molasses water mixture can raise blood sugar because dilution does not remove the sugars in pekmez. If you have diabetes, ask your clinician or dietitian how it fits your individual eating plan.
Is a molasses water mixture good for hydration?
A molasses water mixture contributes fluid, but plain water is a better everyday choice for hydration. Its added sugars do not make it a more effective way to replace fluids after ordinary daily activity.
Can you drink a molasses water mixture before a workout?
Yes, you can drink a molasses water mixture before exercise if you want a sweet source of carbohydrate. It is not a complete sports drink, though, and does not provide the electrolyte balance needed for prolonged, sweaty exercise.
Can a molasses water mixture help with weight loss?
No, a molasses water mixture is not a weight-loss drink. Its sugars add to your intake, so replacing water with it regularly may make it harder to reduce overall energy intake.
Which molasses is best for a molasses water mixture?
Grape pekmez is the usual choice for a molasses water mixture. Mulberry or carob pekmez also works, but each has a distinct sweetness and flavor, so adjust the amount to suit your taste.
How long does a molasses water mixture last in the fridge?
Keep a molasses water mixture covered in the refrigerator and drink it soon after making it, preferably the same day. Once pekmez is diluted, it is more perishable than the undiluted syrup; discard it if its smell or taste changes.
Can you give a molasses water mixture to a baby?
No, do not give a molasses water mixture to a baby under 12 months. It is a sweet drink rather than a necessary source of hydration, and babies should receive breast milk or formula as advised.

What is Molasses water mixture?
A molasses water mixture is a simple Turkish drink made by thinning pekmez—fruit syrup, often made from grapes—with water. The amount of water varies, so it can be mixed to taste rather than following a fixed recipe.
Diluted pekmez has a lighter, more fluid texture than the syrup itself, while keeping its fruity sweetness. In Turkey it may be served at breakfast or sipped at home during the day, chilled or at room temperature. It is mainly a source of carbohydrate, with 70 kcal per 100 g. Adjust the dilution for a less sweet drink; it also pairs well with bread and tahini at breakfast.
