Sakanjabeen is a popular drink in Indo-Pak subcontinent, it is made by squeezing lemons in water (with sugar). It is mostly taken in Ramadan while breaking the Fast, furthermore, people drink it in summer for quenching the thirst.
 
But the actual Sakanjabeen from the times of Ibn-e-Seena & Ibn Al Qayyam was quite different, & we can't understand how it changed the shape with ingredients mentioned above.
 
Sakanjabeen is a Persian word, the combination of Sirka (vinegar) & Angabeen, Angabeen is honey in Persian.
 
Being so simple, Sakanjabeen is the drink made with honey, vinegar & water, ohhhhhh what a beauty. It has miraculous benefits. It is called Oxymel in English........... http://heml.mta.ca/wiki/index.php/Oxymel
 
While eating ripe dates (Rutab), Ibn Al Qayaam said :"Ripe dates are the best types of fruit for the people Madinah al Munawwarah specifically and for all others in general where ripe dates grow. It is a very beneficial fruit for the body. But ripe dates spoil quickly in the stomach (of those who are not used to eating them) and thus produce putrid blood. Eating excessive amounts of ripe dates causes headaches, produces the black bile and harms the teeth. Oxymel (Sakanjabeen ~ a drink made with honey, vinegar and water) helps neutralize the irritants that accompany eating ripe dates".
 
Ibn Al Qayyam also wrote that honey does not have any side effects, except for those suffering from bile, who should take it with vinegar to neutralize its harm, it explains that Diabetic patients can have honey combined with vinegar, the rich experience of Ibn Al Qayyam takes you in a new world...............
 
Bile disorder is the first cause of Diabetes, when liver is unable to process excessive carbohydrates; causing the insulin to jump extra-ordinarily (which results in a damaged Pancreas).
