The Refreshing Secret of the Mediterranean: Get to Know Bici Bici
The southern part of Turkey, with its historical and natural beauties, also hosts a unique lifestyle during the summer months. If your route falls into this hot geography, temperatures reaching 45 degrees and high humidity may require you to reshape your daily plans.
The Refreshing Secret of the Mediterranean: Get to Know Bici Bici
Summer Ritual in the Southeast
Preferably staying in the shade during the hottest hours of the day and enjoying the sea when the sun's effect is lost is a lifestyle in the region. And perhaps the most refreshing finale of this enjoyable day is: Bici Bici.
What is Bici Bici and How is it Prepared?
Bici bici is not just a dessert, but also a rebellion against the Mediterranean heat. Its preparation is quite practical, but its flavor is unforgettable:
The Base: The main body of the dessert is a pudding made with starch and cooked, then cooled to a jelly-like consistency.
Ice Layer: On top of this pudding, shredded or finely crushed "snow" like ice is added.
Final Touch: Finally, a special red syrup (sometimes powdered sugar) obtained from rose water or various fruits is poured over it.
This triple combination creates an ice explosion in your palate, especially in humid evening hours. You can watch my short video about bici bici by clicking here here
