Crystallized Rose Petals - Short Tutorial

 

Shopping List:

 

1 Large Egg White

few drops of water/rose water

1 cup of sugar (either Icing or Very Fine sugar

or Confectioners sugar)

Small paintbrush

Wire Rack with Baking Paper on it to let them dry

Clean Rose Petals or fresh from your own garden

Make sure there are no pesticides on them

 

 

 

Paint or dip your Rose Petal in  Egg white

then dip them in the sugar

 

 

 

These are done with icing sugar

 

 

 

The top ones are done with icing sugar

the bottom ones with fine white sugar

 

 

 

With fine white sugar it is easier to coat them completely

with a little help from your fingertips

 

 

The bottom petal has been painted with egg white only on the rim of the petal

and then slightly dipped in fine sugar

 

 

Then you leave them to dry, either overnight or at least until they feel feathery and crisp.

They are absolutely edible, like most flower petals are. So you could do this with flowers that are clean and you know that they are not poisonous!!!  Check the internet for more details.         Violets are very nice and also used in salads.
