Are you ready to celebrate Santa Barbara?

Santa Barbara is celebrated on the evening of 3rd of December, we prepare a bowl of wheat with anise, pomegrenate, grated coconut, almonds, walnuts, and sultanas. As I am lazy I use precooked wheat. In a bowl, add 3 tablespoons of precooked wheat, 1/8 teaspoon of anise, 1 cup of water, and microwave on maximum power for 5 minutes. Cool down, take out of the microwave and add 1 teaspoon of sugar 1 teaspoon of orange flower water on top of it you can add 1 tablespoon of grated coconut few almonds, walnuts kernels, pistachio seeds (without the shell of course, if you don't want to lose any crown from your mouth !!!), or raisins Eat it warm, near the fireplace and remember that on 4th December, in Lebanon we decorate Christmas tree...
