Ekmek with stale tsoureki

If you have any leftover tsoureki, cut it into slices and place it under the grill for a little while, to get it light golden brown.

For about 10 slices, boil 2 1/2 cups sugar with 2 cups water for 10 minutes. If you like, you can replace half a cup of water with orange juice.

Pour the hot syrup over the tsoureki slices. Allow it to cool and serve with dondurma ice cream.
