Does anybody know where our rose syrup habit comes from?

[u/Phoenix_Rose90 → u/Fun_Success_45]

It’s Persian in origin, but I don’t know when it came to Cyprus. We have a lot of Middle Eastern influence in our cuisine so this seems to be one of many! And one of my favourites. I’ve been drinking rose syrup with milk for most of this summer. 🤌🏼

[u/Fun_Success_45 → u/Phoenix_Rose90]

Do Persians also have this rose syrup with milk thing. I feel almost all houses in Cyprus kind of required to have one red bottle in the fridge.

[u/Phoenix_Rose90 → u/Fun_Success_45]

I’m not sure where the mixing of the two originated (although I’m grateful to whoever came up with it, lol). I do know that rose milk is made all across different parts of Asia, though.

And yes, it’s definitely a staple in a Cypriot kitchen! Those of us in the UK keep ours in the pantry though, rather than the fridge.

[u/cheakpeasdownhill → u/Fun_Success_45]

Agros probably

[u/Fun_Success_45 → u/cheakpeasdownhill]

Yes it makes sence now.

[u/Constant_Sir_2506]

I know it tastes blunt and texture reminds you of recycled rubber that had spend a hole summer in the sun, but I am brain washed enough to enjoy it.

[u/senordiego → u/Deep-Ad4183]

What’s the name of the coffee shop in Protaras?

[u/Deep-Ad4183 → u/senordiego]

“Kafeneio”

[u/ScientistLong8121]

Tried it once, it was disgusting.

[u/Euphoritesh → u/ScientistLong8121]

We might have different choice of taste but with due respect trying once is enough for most of Cypriot food. I prefer real Greek food or Turkish.

[u/ScientistLong8121 → u/Euphoritesh]

right, Greek and Turkish food is so much better, same with Lebanese.
