Rose petals are used as a garnish for food and sweets. Rose water has a very distinctive flavour and is used heavily in Middle Eastern, Persian, and South Asian cuisine – especially in sweets such as barfi, baklava, halva, gulab jamun, gumdrops, kanafeh, noughat, and Turkish delight. Fresh rose petals are often used to decorate cakes and desserts. They add a subtle flavour to lemonades, juices and iced tea.
Dried rose petals refers to fresh rose petals plucked from the stems, placed on a newspaper or a basket or a paper and kept in open air to dry for a few days or till they have shrunk and have got the desired crumbled look. Make sure not to keep it on a wet base.
