Mahalebi is a Cypriot pudding made with water or milk and corn flour. The traditional way of making mahalepi is with water. No sugar is added in the cream but when served, always chilled, rose water and sugar are added on top, or triantafyllo (rose cordial syrup), which is sweet and no extra sugar is added.
Blossom water
These traditional Cypriot cookies, called “koulourakia sigma” due to their “S” shape, are flavoured with blossom water.
