Have you ever tasted Turkish delight? I like the taste of it. When I drink sugarless Turkish coffee, I usually want something with it, a Turkish bitter almond cookie, an almond paste, a cezerye or a Turkish delight. Turkish coffee is different, but once you are used to drink it with a Turkish delight it is a marriage made in heaven.

Turkish delight is a confection made from sugar, corn starch, cream of tartar, natural/artificial colors, natural/artificial flavors (especially rose flavor, lemon, orange, mint flavored). Turkish delights are usually filled with nuts (pistachio, almond, hazelnut or walnut), sweetened coconut flakes and vanilla. They are dusted with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.

Thank you God for Turkish Delight :)
