Ingredients
- 200gr fine semolina
- 100gr sugar
- 100gr grated coconut
- 150gr milk

- For the syrup:
- 2 cups water + 2 cups sugar + 1 tablespoon orange blossom water
- *In this case, a cup = a drinking cup (approx 300-400ml in size). Just fill up the cups with the ingredients, no need to weigh or use proper measuring cups for the syrup.
