Milk pudding scented with mastic gum and rose.

30 minutes · 6 servings · Easy

Mastic resin was traded through this country for centuries, and its resinous scent is the whole point of this milk pudding. Bloom the pieces in a little warm milk rather than crushing them flat, or you get grit at the bottom of the bowl. It is a light cold dessert that arrives after a heavy meal rather than instead of one.
