Barfi

This is more like a nutty candy. Rosewater may be found in drugstores, but check to make sure the label says for digestive purposes. Rosewater is also available by mail-ordered. If you've never tried rosewater -- use it sparely, this stuff is strong. Of course, you can always opt for vanilla extract.
