Have you ever looked at roses and wondered if they were tasty? (Or maybe you went to a restaurant with something like rose milk tea with rose jelly that you got & liked).

Well, here is a guide to eating roses.

(Please note that people tend to put all kinds of nasty chemicals on roses sold both commercially & that you find growing at a neighbor's house, so please make sure they are unsprayed/untreated/organic before consuming them and always ask permission if they are growing on someone else's land).

First, go early in the morning (as that lovely rose scent will disappear as the day heats up) & pick some just opening flowers. Then wash them to remove dirt and bugs.

These are some common domestic roses (Mr. Lincoln, Queen Elizabeth, etc), but if you are buying roses to eat, supposedly Damascus roses are the best. Next, you will gently remove the petals from the stem (a slight twist & pull is usually sufficient). Now you have to choose preparing fresh (rose jam, rose jelly, rose syrup, rose oil, rose water, etc) or drying them for later.

In this case, I dried them.

As you can see, once I had just over 2 quarts/2 liters, I proceeded to the next step. Grinding them to a fine powder in the blender.

As you can see, grinding the petals dramatically reduces the overall volume. For long term storage of the powder, I sift it (through a sieve) and dry again before storing it in glass jars.

This powder is really nice to have on hand. One spoonful into a cup of hot water or coffee makes a nice drink. Or you can add it to baked goods for rose flavor & color.

In this case, I am going to make waffles. I started with a commercial pancake mix, added ingredients suggested on the box and a good amount (no more than 1/10 the volume of mix/flour) of rose powder. After making the waffles, they looked like this:

I also had some rose syrup using a recipe from a really interesting cookbook about Lebanese pantry staples (which can be made from things that grow well in Mediterranean climates like roses).

The rose syrup was interesting to make as the pigments in the rose petals leach into boiling water, leaving clear, transparent, and slightly chewy petals behind. The book has lots of recipes for fresh rose petals. I water bath canned them for 15 minutes so I can store it long term. It was a two day process to make.

Then I combined the rose waffles with rose syrup to moisten them.

Finally, I used hot water to clean the blender & make my first batch of rose tea. I think the purple color is from my Mr. Lincoln rose.

So there is an entire meal from roses. (If you want a clear tea, use dried whole rose petals & strain them out before drinking).

Rose Rickey

Spring has sprung, I’ve gathered heaps of scented flowers in the garden, from hyacinths to daffys, there are carpets of primroses in a variety of pastel hues, the dawn chorus is a lovely music, I’ve watched Canada geese and coots at the park this morning, and started sowing vegetables for a hopefully bountiful harvest... This all makes me rather happy, and I fancy a floral cocktail to sip whilst gazing out at the blooms. Thus, I mixed this beautiful and refreshing Rose Rickey, the taste of my very own roses, stirred with gin! The roses are not flowering yet, but the shrubs and climbers look very promising; and in the meantime, I have this very lovely tipple. Cheers!

Ingredients (serves 1):

3 ice cubes

½ lemon

15 millilitres/1/2 fluid ounce (1 tablespoon) Rose Syrup

30 millilitres/1 fluid ounce (2 tablespoons) Rosie Gin Liqueur

30 millilitres/1 fluid ounce (2 tablespoons) London Dry Gin

chilled seltzer water, to top

a freshly picked primrose, to garnish (optional)

Fill a highball or large glass with ice cubes. Cut lemon into thin slices, and add them to the glass. Pour in Rose Syrup, Rosie Gin Liqueur and Gin. Top with chilled seltzer water. Garnish with primrose, if desired.

Enjoy Rose Rickey immediately. Cheers!

Vegan Mohabbat Ka Sharbat / Indian Watermelon Rose Drink

just remembered my mom told me a while ago that as a child (like between 1 - 5 ? Yrs old) I was like addicted to pain med syrup and it got to the point where they'd mix rose syrup with water to trick me so they could wean me off it.

and I thought my fear of addiction was unwarranted.
