1. Spread 1 cup sugar syrup (ater) onto table
2. Shred cheese
3. Place milk, water, sugar into pot, stir then add cheese
4. Mix until cheese is smooth and no longer lumpy, should take 5mins
5. Dump in 1.5 cups fine semolina and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon, as the semolina with make the sweet cheese hold into a dough you might need extra semolina

7. Quickly dump dough onto the table ontop of sugar syrup and using your hands quickly spread out the cheese dough as thinly as possible, about 2 to 3mm in thickness

10. Store in the fridge until you're ready to serve, a few hours is perfect
Enjoy
* If you do not have sweet cheese available in your area, I recommend the white mozarella balls you can find at the deli, if salted just soak in water for 20mins to remove the salt, same goes with the shredded mozarella.
