موسم شراب التوت في الريف اللبناني The Lebanese Art of Mulberry Syrup with Marie, 81 Years Strong

At 81 years old, Marie from Kour still prepares traditional Lebanese mouneh with dignity and pride to support her family. In this video, she shows us how to make mulberry syrup the authentic way—just like Lebanese women have done for generations. She started her day at 6 AM, handpicking the ripe fruits before beginning the labor-intensive process of squeezing them by hand to extract their rich juice and turn it into syrup. It’s a full day of hard work, all to preserve a cherished tradition. Mulberry syrup remains a key element of Lebanese hospitality, and women like Marie are keeping it alive.
