Sorbet of Roses
Sorbet of Roses
Serve this sorbet in flute champagne glasses layered with tiny white or pink meringues and either fresh or crystallised pink or red rose petals. So impressive and so simple. Or, even easier, put a dollop of sorbet in a pretty glass and pour champagne over it. Decorate with pink or red fruits- a sort of adult float!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Castor sugar
- 2 cups Water
- 2 cups Red and/or pink scented rose petals
- 1/2 tsp Lemon juice
Instructions
- Dissolve the sugar in the water in a pot, stirring all the time. Bring to the boil and heat on a fast simmer for 5 minutes
