Sekanjabin is a combination of sugar or honey, water, vinegar, and mint, simmered into a sweet-tart syrup. Keep a jar on hand for making cordials (sharbats) or flavoring desserts. This refreshing cucumber version, which gets additional tanginess from whey, is a favorite of Homa Dashtaki, author of cookbook Yogurt & Whey and founder of Brooklyn-based yogurt company The White Moustache.
