November 01, 2023, 03:44:32 pm Zainab_M: Allahhuma ameen .. ameen.
November 01, 2023, 03:43:43 pm Ruhi_Rose: Yes .. making lots of dua everyday ..... watching those real life video clips, my face feels wet with tears all the time.  May ALLAH grant the best to these wonderful, brave & steadfast martyrs,  Ameen ya Allah.
November 01, 2023, 03:38:26 pm Zainab_M: Keep praying, praying a lot for Gaza. It's worse than a prison .. it's a concentration camp.  Children as young as 10 or 11 are having to care for their younger siblings ages 2, 3 and 4 becoz many have lost both parents.  It's a very, very, very tearful situation there.
October 26, 2023, 03:40:19 pm N. Truth Seeker: Don't forget to look up MV Blog Zainab's Lounge for our Gaza updates.
October 20, 2023, 04:24:44 pm Zainab_M: Right sister Heba.  Gaza hospital bombing has the fingerprints of Israel all over it.  For Israel this is no big crime.  They have done this and much worse many times in the past and intend to do the same and worse many more times in near future.
October 20, 2023, 04:20:20 pm Heba E. Husseyn: Catching Zionist lies isn't hard. Soon after Gaza hospital bombing killing and maiming hundreds, Israel was quick to accuse Islamic Jihad of a misfired rocket.  That didn't sound plausible because IJ does not have such sophisticated bombing devices.  Zionist lie was fully exposed when anglican archbishop of Jerusalem,Hosam Naoum,  said today that 3 or 4 days prior to boming Israel had warned Gaza hospital to evacuate. Yet CIA claims in its flawed analysis that the rocket did not come from Israel.  But conveniently does not explain how Israel could have known 4 days earlier that a "misfired" rocket from IJ was coming.  Yet on the basis of this flawed & bias analysis of CIA, Biden is comforting Israel he believes Israel didn't do that war crimes bombing.
July 29, 2023, 03:02:07 am Zainab_M: Yesterday was Ashura, Muharram 10, 1444 (July 27, 2023).  Read about this very tragic day and details of the world's greatest 7th century revolutionary: WHO WAS HUSSEIN.
June 28, 2023, 09:48:39 am Zainab_M: Walaikum As Salaam.  This was the first Hajj open to all after the pandemic. It was attended by 2.6 million Muslims.

Generally I would say no.  Sprinkling only the white elderflowers as décor over a cake is okay but in very small amounts.  The stuff is a bit controversial. Elderberries can be eaten only after fully ripe and cooked.  Never eat uncooked elderberries.  These berries carry cyanide for sure though the cyanide evaporates quite fast in slightly above room temperature.  If you dry the berries or roast them, that should remove the toxic content.  Elderflower leaves and stems must NEVER be eaten, not even in small quantities. These are very toxic.   Since we already have a vast list of risk-free floral edibles, in my opinion, to be on the safe side just avoid elderflowers / berries as well.

Another query from is sister who really liked this post 😀   They say that honey comes in several different shades from almost transparent white to dark amber and many shades in between.   The two commonest shades sold in stores are light amber and dark amber.  Which one would be better to use in rose and lemon tea, and what’s the reason of these differences in color?

Alhumdulilah, I’m glad she liked it    Thank you.   Convey my salams to dear sis.

As observed, darker honey is richer in nutrients.  However, if you are using it to sweeten herbal tea, you may opt for the lighter one so the natural color of herbal tea such as rose and lemon changes to the minimal.  To know the reason for the varying colors of honey, one needs to look to the source, that is, the kind of flowering plants the bees visit to collect nectar required to produce honey for their hives.   The colors derived from the flowering plants will affect the color of the honey produced.

If I wanna add frothy milk with my cup a rose tea, do I prepare the milk by putting it in the blender like for making milkshakes?

No, I would suggest use a hand blender, electric or manual.  Electric would of course be better and faster.  Slightly warm the half and half in a large, deep pot. Place the electric hand blender in the milk, making sure the blades are immersed. Turn the blender on low, and blend until fairly frothy.   You can also use a manual hand blender but will take longer to froth.
