For a deeper caramel flavor, cook the sugar and water until it turns a light amber color before adding the condensed milk. Toast the cashews lightly before adding them to the toffee for enhanced nutty flavor. Be patient and stir frequently, especially towards the end of cooking, to prevent scorching. If rose extract is unavailable, a pinch of cardamom powder can be used as a substitute.
