Ypovrichio

Ypovrichio, which means "submarine" in Greek, is a traditional sweet treat, that consists of a thick, flavored sugary paste, often made with mastic, vanilla, or rose flavoring. The paste is served on a spoon and then submerged in a glass of cold water.

The cold water slightly hardens the paste, making it chewy and allowing you to eat it slowly while savoring the sweet flavor. Ypovrichio is a nostalgic treat in Greece, often associated with childhood memories or summertime indulgence. It’s simple but beloved, especially during warm weather when the refreshing cold water contrasts with the sweetness of the "submarine" candy.
