4) Greixonera
Leftover ensaïmadas are made into a lemon- and cinnamon-scented dessert similar to a bread & butter pudding.
5) Flaó
Ibiza’s version of a baked cheesecake. Drier in texture and a little more like a pie, it's usually flavoured with mint and mild aniseed.
6) Hierbas ibicencas
For the adults – this is an aniseedy, herby alcoholic drink served over ice or as a shot. Try frigola, a liquer distilled with wild thyme, too.
