A dessert that is made during Christmas everywhere in Greece. Melomakarona means honey macarons/cookies in English. In this video I present the recipe, showing the ingredients and the process on the 20th of December 2019 while situated in Italy. It is a relaxing video showing how I spent some days during December every year before the holiday season. Please find below the recipe. The secret of Melomakarona is in cooking. Careful monitoring during cooking, as they burn very easily. Know that you can, depending on the dose of syrup, make them more or less sweet.
