@dulceaguadelpozo Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. I've heard of using rose water in different sweet dishes but never in tembleque-- sounds like it'll make a wonderful difference-- I must try this variation of tembleque and I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for that tip and the recipe-- All my best... Vicky O.
