I believe plain, unfermented raisin water is still popular in the Middle
East, or at least in Afghanistan - I'm fairly sure I've seen a mention of
"raisin water stands" that sell this beverage. I think they soak the raisins
in water for not too long, then you crush them and sieve the water, but I
could be wrong - been quite a while since I read about it.
