The rose syrup was an experiment for me. I have used rose water (which is highly concentrated) before, but I’ve never made the syrup. Although the syrup was initially very fragrant, the aroma faded over a couple days. I can’t say I can taste the rose in this drink, but it changes the flavour of the watermelon to something a bit more exotic that you can’t quite put a finger on.

No, sorry, I never post recipes. These cookies are called courambeethes, it’s a Greek word and I don’t know how to write it in English:)
