    1. Konafa Method 1. For the syrup: heat the sugar, water, honey, lime juice (to taste), rose water (to taste), cinnamon and saffron in a pan over a low heat. Simmer for 10–15 minutes until the syrup starts to thicken, and then remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool.

    4. Bake for 45 minutes, then increase the oven temperature to 230ºC / gas 8 and continue cooking for a further 10–15 minutes until the konafa is golden. Remove it from the oven and pour over the cold syrup. Serve hot or cold with Greek yogurt or ice cream.
