Karak Haleeb
Gulf Region
The extra-sweet version using condensed milk. Dessert in a cup—indulgent, nostalgic, and deeply comforting.
The Story
Some moments call for sweetness without apology. Karak Haleeb swaps evaporated milk for sweetened condensed milk, creating something closer to dessert than beverage. It's the karak of childhood memories, of late nights with friends, of celebrations. The condensed milk adds richness and a caramel depth that evaporated milk can't match. Not for every day—but sometimes exactly what you need.

Brewing Tips
Go easy on the condensed milk—it's sweeter than you think. No need for additional sugar. Stir well to incorporate the thick milk. The color should be rich caramel. This one is meant to be intensely sweet, so embrace it or choose another variety.
