Shay koshary- loose leaf tea. All day every day. Served "zeeada" (so much sugar), bil-laban (with milk), or bil na3na3 (with mint)
‘Asaab - Sugar cane drink
Manga 3aseer - Mango Juice
Tamer Hindy* - Brown, made from Tamer Hindies
Qamer il-deen* - Thick sweet apricot drink made from dried apricot. Why you would dry a fruit and then make a liquid from it, I have no idea, but it sure tastes good!
Soobia* - A sweet white drink, made from milk and coconut I believe. It's kind of like drinking ice cream.
3er Esous* - A brown-gray drink. I think it’s made from licorice. It tastes like dirt.
*Ramadan specialties
Egypt does not only have cafes everywhere that serve cheap tea. Egypt also offers and endless supply of juice bars! You pay for your drink at a little podium out front. Then the man gives you a colored token which you deliver to the bar. Fresh juice is poured into a big pilsner which drink on the street and then return when you're done (you can usually also get it take-away, but that's not as fun).
