Traditional Sri Lankan Treats
Sri Lanka: Land of Unique Sweets and Desserts
Sri Lanka is famous for its unique sweets and desserts, many of which have been enjoyed for generations. Typically, desserts are served after main meals, while sweets are enjoyed during morning and afternoon tea times. Sri Lankan sweets are often infused with aromatic local spices and sweetened with treacle, a syrup extracted from coconut or kithul (Caryota urens) palm trees. In addition, ingredients like shredded coconut, coconut milk, and coconut oil are commonly used, adding rich flavor and authentic tropical charm to these treats.
