Mix the cornstarch with the water in a large mixing bowl. Bring the milk to a boil. Pour the milk into the cornstarch, stirring all the while. Add at least 3 tablespoons sugar. Balkan puddings are usually very sweet. When the cornstarch cream is thick, remove it from the heat and beat until it is cool. Pour the rose-water into a shallow plain mold or bowl and swirl it round and round. Sprinkle generously with ground almonds. Add the cornstarch cream, sprinkle lightly with sugar to prevent a skin forming, and chill. Turn out to serve, either alone or with rose petal jam.
