You are talking about a Persian mint drink called something like Serkanjbaun.

This was only one of many suger syrup beverages from the Middle East. For
several versions of this recipe and other similar beverages, take a look at
this file in the BEVERAGES section of Stefan's Florilegium:

beverages-NA-msg  (72K)  8/ 4/97    Non-alcoholic beverages.

My files are available at:

Duke Cariadoc's Miscellany is also available at Lindahl's site and it too,
has this recipe.
