I previously shared a recipe for lemonade that is made with fresh lemon juice and lemon peels juice. The recipe is here: https://www.myexcellentdegustations.com/lemonade-fresh-lemon-juice-and-lemon-peels-juice/
If you add milk, orange blossom water and vanilla powder to the lemonade cited above, you will have Cherbet Boufarik.

Recipe Notes
