Rose Water

Rose water is currently enjoying a surge in popularity. It is used in many Mediterranean and Indian dessert dishes.

This rose water is called for in some unusual dessert dishes. We just had a wonderful dessert at a local Indian restaurant. It was made with cream, rice, pistachios and almonds along with a hint of something we couldn't quite pinpoint. The owner verified it as a subtle dash of rose water.

Rosewater was used in Victorian days to flavor icings. It can be fun to attempt to replicate recipes from the culinary past.
