What is "booza"

Booza ( Arabic: البوظة العربية), or Arabic mastic ice cream, is an elastic, sticky, high level melt resistant ice cream, which should delay melting in the hotter climates of the Arab world, where it is most commonly found.

The ice cream is usually and traditionally made with an ingredient called Salep, which provides it with the ability to resist melting at the speed that other regular ice creams are affected by. Salep is also a primary ingredient in the Turkish version of this style of ice cream called Dondurma, and the Persian version called Bastani.
