Nabat – Traditional Persian rock candy (1kg)

Experience one of the finest forms of sweetness from the Orient with our Nabat. This traditional Persian rock candy is distinguished by its large, clear crystals and its pure sweetness. It is an indispensable part of the tea culture in Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asia.

Culinary profile

Nabat is produced through the slow crystallization of a highly concentrated sugar solution. The result is exceptionally hard and pure sugar crystals that impart a milder and more subtle sweetness than regular table sugar. It melts slowly and evenly, making it ideal for ceremonial hot drinks.

Uses & Recipes

Nabat is much more than just a sweetener. In Persian cuisine, it is traditionally used as follows:

• Persian tea: Place a piece of Nabat into a glass of hot black tea (Chai) with saffron and stir until the desired sweetness is reached.
• Herbal infusions: Refine mint tea or chamomile tea for an authentic oriental aroma.
• Desserts: Use the coarse crystals as a decorative element for sophisticated desserts.
