Pack up some rose lemonade or homemade ice tea and make this baklava to accompany your drinks:

Baklava

700 g of nuts, ground or crushed

2 pinches of cinnamon

filo pastry

250 g melted butter

500 g sugar

1 lemon

2 ts rose water

125 g pistachio nuts

Mix up the ground nuts and the cinnamon.

• Put three layers of filo pastry on top of each other in an oven tray. Put some melted butter on each layer.

• Add half of the nut mixture. 

• Repeat the filo pastry layers and add the rest of the nuts. End with three layers of pastry.

• Bake the baklava until golden brown.

• Meanwhile, make a syrup of sugar, 3 dl water and lemon juice. Add the rose water when the sugar has dissolved. Pour over the still hot baklava so the syrup can soak through.

• Sprinkle some pistachios on top and cut up in small portions for your picnic.

• Don’t forget to take some napkins because this delicacy can be a bit sticky!

Put all your goodies into one of our practical baskets and add one of our plaids for some comfortable seating. Click here to find your favourite one.
