Sobia

Sobia is a popular Saudi Arabian and Egyptian drink made either with a blend of grain or rice and sugar, with water, coconut milk, or dairy milk, sometimes flavored with vanilla or cinnamon. It has a creamy, sweet taste and is often served cold, making it especially refreshing during the hot summer months. Sobia is widely consumed during the holy month of Ramadan, where it is enjoyed to break the fast due to its hydrating and nourishing qualities. Although it is particularly popular in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, variations of sobia can be found across the Middle East, with slight regional differences in ingredients and preparation.
