Rose water is an ingredient commonly used in Turkish Delight... it gives it its distinctive flavour. It is also used in Indian smoothies called Lassi. I adore it!
Do you use it? What in? What else do you know about this divine ingredient?
I've taken a photo of the bottle I bought last weekend but due to BB server issues it times out before it loads... but i'll add a link when I have it in my gallery.
I think you can add it to rice puddings and ****tails. Not sure what else you'd use it in though. I'm not really a fan.
Oh hell yeah - Rose water/petal ice cream mmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm
I forgot to add that I intend on popping some into my MiEssence Rose Hydrating Mist when it runs out... it will tide me by until I can afford to buy it again... I suspect I won't be able to tell the difference. Smells soooo divine!
Tinkerbell: yep, I'm going to Google recipes soon.... just thought I would find out how other people have used it successfully... I imagine it would "go" with creamy coconut type puddings.
Lulu: ooooooh ice cream! of course!!! That sounds perfect! I don't have a maker... but I have been able to make it from scratch by just doing it manually.
I reckon you could use it in place of vanilla in cakes etc as well?
Cupcakes :) fruit salad, sorbet, iced tea... I love rosewater!
To treat wind in babies. In indain cooking.
It also works great on dry skin to stop the itch and take the redness out of exsma (sp lol).
Great for colic in older kids to.
Oh and don't forget home made Jellies!
rice custard and DH uses it in milkshakes as his "secret ingredient" not disimilar to vanilla..
If you make torrone/nougat at all, add rosewater to the mix and sub the almonds with pistachio -:D
Also good in any white choc based recipes, like cakes and slices.
Apart from things that have already been mentioned above, (rose ice-cream is particularly wonderful, rose and coconut is stupendous, rose and watermelon sorbet is just special), I use a little in the poaching liquid whenever I poach pears, and if I serve double cream with them I add a little rosewater to the cream.
