Three Kings Day: Roscón, Chocolate and Magic

January 6th is not just any day. It smells of excitement, torn wrapping paper and, above all, orange blossom water. It is the last great feast of the holidays, a breakfast that extends until lunch, where sweet treats are the absolute protagonist.

That unmistakable aroma that transports you to childhood is orange blossom water. Do not skimp on quality; look for one from a pharmacy or specialized baking stores. A few drops too many can make it bitter, but its absence makes it just a brioche, not a Roscón.

On the night of the 5th they cannot be missing. Prepare some simple butter cookies with the children. Leave three glasses of milk (or sweet liqueur) and a bucket of water for the camels. Those little bites they will find in the morning are irrefutable proof that *they have been there*.
