Answer 3

Arasia are dried prunes. Meshmesheya are dried apricots. They are very popular in the month of Ramadan. They help keep digestion regular while fasting. It is easy to prepare them. Put some of each of them in a bowl, add boiling water till they are covered. Cover to keep them hot long enough. when the are cold put them in the fridge and eat them cold. You can also add some raisins. It is a nice dessert and a nice topping to ice cream.
