Baklava is Best
You’d be hard-pressed not to find a dessert to your liking in Iran. The home of Baklava, an iconic puff pastry filled with pistachios and other nuts (which is drenched with honey syrup), Iranians take their desserts seriously. For something a little different, Faloodeh is the cold alternative, which is a collective of thin noodles in rosewater infused frozen syrup. Is your mouth watering yet?
Iranians and their Tea
Black tea is a common drink for Iranians of all ages. When visiting someone’s home in the region, brace yourself for a couple of offers of tea, especially if you’re staying for more meals than one. Often, families will spend some time bonding over a cup of tea and some conversation, which is not something all too common in the Western world.
