Plus, the rose flavor evokes a sense of bright coolness. Make up a batch for your next picnic, birthday party, or other celebration. We’re sure the tray will be gone long before the event is over.
What are Milk Bikis?
Milk Bikis are a signature Indian cookie-type snack from Britannia, known for their unique and delightful “milky” flavor. They come in a “waffle design” or classic flat shape, both of which are perfect for dunking in tea or coffee. Not only are Milk Bikis delicious, but they’re also fortified with calcium, Vitamin D, and B vitamins, making them potentially beneficial as well. Various flavors are available. Try vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry…or transform them into something else entirely like we do with our Rose Milk Sandwich Cookies.

How to Make Sweetened Rose Syrup
Making your own rose syrup at home may save a trip to the store and allows you to perfect the noticeably floral flavor. There are two different routes you can take, either with edible rose petals or with rose water. No matter which way you choose, it’s as simple as adding your rose choice to sugar and water, and simmering for about five minutes. After the syrup has cooled, you can store it in a glass container to use in other dishes, cocktails, or even your coffee in the morning.
Wrap Up
Rose Milk Sandwich Cookies make for a delightfully crunchy, not-too-sweet treat for any type of occasion. Filled with a creamy rose-infused filling, they offer a unique and refreshing summer dessert experience.
