About this recipe

Description

Experience the flavors of Lebanon with our Lebanese Maamoul Activity Kit. Make delicious Maamoul cookies filled with spices, dates, and nuts—a treat that's as fun to create as it is to eat.

Dive into Lebanese tea culture, where tea is a symbol of hospitality and served hot with herbs, spices, and sometimes sweetened with rose water or orange blossom. This tradition perfectly complements the Maamoul, highlighting the importance of sweets in Lebanese gatherings.

Learn about the Lebanese flag through a simple connect-the-dots activity, discovering the meaning behind the iconic cedar tree it features.

Pick up some Lebanese Arabic phrases, starting with how to say "hello" and introduce yourself, connecting you more deeply with Lebanese culture.
