Traditional Middle Eastern, in general, I think--makes way better baklava
than the Greek version, imo.

I love rose water, but one thing I learned was not to heat it--at least not
for very long. I made some basboosa once and accidentally heated the rose
water along with the sugar syrup. The rose water became very strong in
flavour and scent, and was off-putting to me (though my mother still loved
it!).
