Honey adds sweetness with a unique flavor.

Prepare the bread by cutting it into slices or using rusk.

In a bowl, combine sugar and water, stirring until dissolved, then add rose water and lemon drops.

Layer the bread slices in a serving dish and pour the sugar-water mixture over them, allowing them to soak.

In a saucepan, heat milk and corn flour together, stirring until thickened, then add rose water and orange essence.

Pour the milk mixture over the soaked bread layer, ensuring it is well covered.

In a separate bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form and fold in the condensed milk.

Spread the whipped cream mixture over the bread pudding evenly.

Garnish with crushed pistachios before serving.
