Kai_Laguna 04/03/24 4:59:11 PM #15:	Traditionally it's made with rose water which tastes the way rose perfume smells. So if you find the smell of roses not very appetizing, you probably wouldn't like the traditional ones. Some traditional ones are also made with bergamont oranges which is a hybrid of lemons and bitter oranges, so again, not to everyone's taste. <cite>Kai_Laguna posted [p:979714468] in So apparen...
