Mastic is a tree resin that dries into small pale tears, and a little goes a long way: it gives Turkish and Middle Eastern puddings, ice cream and sweet breads their clean, pine-like aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtra grade\u003c\/strong\u003e - sold as Extra Mastic on the pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne 1 g sachet\u003c\/strong\u003e - about the right amount for a pot of muhallebi or a batch of sweet dough\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in Lebanon\u003c\/strong\u003e - as printed on the card\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarked natural product\u003c\/strong\u003e - as printed on the pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMastic is sticky when warm, so grind it first: crush the tears in a mortar with a pinch of sugar (or freeze them for a few minutes) until you have a fine powder, then stir it into the milk or dough. Use it in sakizli muhallebi, rice pudding, dondurma-style ice cream, Turkish coffee, tea and holiday breads such as paskalya coregi. Start with a few tears - too much turns bitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Is Damla Sakizi?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDamla sakizi is the resin of the mastic tree, a small evergreen of the Mediterranean. It is collected as drops that harden in the air - damla means drop. It is not chewing gum, though people have chewed it for centuries; in the kitchen it is used as a spice for its aroma and for the slight stretch it gives puddings and ice cream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLebanon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNet Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.035 oz (1 g) approx.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKeep in a cool, dry place\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIngredients\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAllergens\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMay contain traces of gluten and sesame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlso known as: damla sakizi, damla sakiz, sakiz, mastic, gum mastic, mastic gum, mastiha, mastika, miskeh, mistki, arabic gum mastic\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardenia Grain D'or","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67920356278545,"sku":null,"price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/qualitamart.com\/products\/gardenia-extra-mastic-0-035-oz-1-g","provider":"Qualita Mart ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
