Izlediler

Izlediler, also known as "izlediler" or "izlediler" in Turkish, are a traditional Turkish confectionery made from a mixture of sugar, water, and various spices. The name "izlediler" translates to "they left" in English, referring to the tradition of leaving these sweets for guests or visitors as a symbol of hospitality and goodwill. The sweets are typically prepared in the form of small, round, and hard candies, often flavored with rose water, lemon, or orange blossom.

The process of making izlediler involves boiling sugar and water to create a syrup, which is then cooled and mixed with spices. The mixture is poured into molds and left to set, resulting in the characteristic hard texture of the sweets. Izlediler are often decorated with edible flowers or other garnishes to enhance their appearance.

In Turkish culture, izlediler are considered a delicacy and are often given as gifts or used in various celebrations and festivals. They are also a popular treat during the winter months, when they are believed to have warming properties. The tradition of leaving izlediler for guests is a reflection of the Turkish hospitality culture, where visitors are welcomed with kindness and generosity.
