Tabrizi Lovuez (pronounced "Lah-vez") are special diamond-shaped sweets from the city of Tabriz in Northwest Iran. People often call them "Tabriz Diamonds" because of their unique shape. These delicious treats are made from simple ingredients like sugar, fine almond powder, and a touch of saffron for color and flavor.

What is Tabrizi Lovuez?

Tabrizi Lovuez is a type of sweet treat that has been enjoyed in Iran for a long time. It's known for its rich almond taste and its beautiful diamond shape. These sweets are often served during special occasions or as a delightful snack with tea.

How is Tabrizi Lovuez Made?

Making Tabrizi Lovuez involves a few interesting steps. First, water and sugar are heated together to create a sweet syrup. Then, a special spice called saffron is added, which gives the syrup a lovely golden color and a unique aroma.

After the syrup cools down a bit, fine almond powder is slowly mixed in. This creates a thick, paste-like dough. This dough is then spread out evenly on a baking tray. Sometimes, people sprinkle nuts on top for extra crunch and flavor.

Finally, the sweet mixture is chilled in the refrigerator until it becomes firm. Once it's firm, it's carefully cut into its famous diamond shapes. This process makes sure each piece is perfect and ready to enjoy!
