Greek Mastika

Mastic has a slightly resinous, pine-like flavour and can be chewed just like chewing gum. Mastic is used in cooking for the consistency it gives to Greek slow-cooked lamb, it is used in ice cream and soups (see ice cream recipe below). Mastic is also used in traditional Tsoureki, a Greek bread made at Easter.
