Thai desserts, Egg, mung bean, rice flour, glutinous rice, lotus seeds, palm sugar, cassava roots and coconuts are common ingredients of Thai sweets. The Thais prefer their desserts to have fragrance. Accordingly, they soak jasmine and other aromatic flower in water and use resultant scented water to make a syrup. Bland seeds or beans are cooked in the syrup to make liquid sweets. Aromatic candles are often burned next to cakes or cookies in closed containers to impart scents, or desserts are placed next to fragrant flowers overnight. Cookies are sometimes garnished with slivers of gold leaf.
