Booza
Booza (Arabic: بُوظَة, romanized: Būẓah, lit. 'ice cream') is an Eastern Levant frozen dairy dessert made with milk, cream, sugar, mastic and sahlab (orchid flour), giving it its distinguished stretchy and chewy texture—much like dondurma.

Booza is traditionally made through a process of pounding and stretching in a freezer drum, instead of the more usual churning method used in other ice creams, leading to a creamy yet dense texture.
