Ashta, mastic gum, Salep powder, Rose water, Orange blossom water, and pistachios.
It originated in the streets of Damascus.
All the ingredients are combined together and pounded with large wooden mallets and then pulled and stretched, owing its taffy-like consistency to an ingredient called mastic gum.
It’s smooth, creamy, and unlike normal ice cream, it has a stretchy kind of consistency.
The ones we had back home were formed into balls and then rolled into a mix of crushed and pulverized pistachios.
Mastic gum comes in little yellow crystals.
Sahlab powder is kind of hard to find, unless you go to a specialty spices shop.
In this recipe, it’s used more of a flavoring than a thickening agent, so using the regular sahlab drinking powder works just fine.
