I can imagine the Rose tasting like Turkish Delight. I've tried making that a couple times with not much success (I have rose water here but don't know if it is vapeable). It never quite gets firm or solid enough. It turns out too soft. Been boiling at the right temperature as I have a sugar thermometer, boiling for the amount of time stated in recipe. Maybe I should try another recipe. Maybe that one just isn't quite right.
Mint is a good idea. But to sweet flavours I use coffee. I bought a peacan pie concentrate and at whatever strength I mixed it, it always tasted like vomit. I just added half the amount of coffee end it is ok now.
