POMEGRANATE MULLED WINE<\/a><\/h2>\n

Drinks are just as important as food on Yalda Night. For a festive start to the evening, I recommend a warm pomegranate mulled wine – the perfect way to start the festivities. The recipe will be shared in the coming days. For those who prefer something more traditional, dugh, the Persian yoghurt drink, is a great option.

AB HENDEVANEH – WATERMELON LEMONADE<\/h2>\n

Fresh, fruity and simply irresistible: Ab Hendevaneh is the perfect summer drink and a delightful addition to Yalda Night.
