Rosewater

Rosewater!

I love rosewater. It makes me happy. I like to buy it in strange glass bottles from imported food stores. Here are some things you can do with it if you get your hands on some!

Add it to your glass of morning orange juice
Make blood orange & rosewater sorbet
Put a couple of splashes of it in a big cold jug of water
Create baby rosewater meringues
Add it to your cookie mixture
Use it as an ingredient in ice-cream
Make bandung or lassi
Pour some into a spray bottle, keep it in the fridge & spray it on your face on hot days (or use it as a toner after cleansing)
Make pistachio & rosewater cupcakes
Drink rosewater cocktails: wild thing #2, rosewater rickey or this Campari concoction
Spray it on your sheets in the middle of summer to cool them down & scent them
Make white chocolate panna cotta with rosewater syrup
Whip up rosewater & pistachio crème brûlée to impress everyone!

Do you have any secret rosewater recipes?

P.S. If you can’t find any to buy, why not make your own?
