Continue ReadingHoney Baklawa Roll with Al Shifa Black Forest Honey.I love recreating favorite recipes to fit our lifestyle. Instead of using refined sugar, i made baklawa roll using Al Shifa Black Forest honey, which has a smooth, caramel-like taste and many health benefits. Founded in 1983 in Saudi Arabia, Al Shifa is among the world’s top five honey brands, sourcing from the finest apiaries and holding multiple quality certifications. Swap sugar for their honey and use it to drizzle over desserts. Live Sweeter with Al Shifa! @alshifaksa
