Extra Tips
Using non-refined sugar, makes the Halawet el Jebn browner than the usual. If you want it to be as white as the original one, use coconut sugar or regular white sugar
You can use Maple Syrup instead of making Sugar Syrup
While serving, you can decorate with ground pistachios and orange flowers jam
