BM # 4 Day 1
The first day of the Blogging Marathon…for me the first time to partcipate.Thnx to Srivalli….for hosting such a wonderful event.Hope u all like my recipes…….
The Indian desi gulab is a very fragnant rose variety.The petals retain their delicate fragrance even after drying,which makes it ideal to use for syrups and Indian sweets.
U get the dried petals in the market but somehow I prefer to dry them myself.It’s actually very simple…..get the roses,pull out the petals…make sure to discard all the extras…wipe with a damp cloth…….n spread them on a clean sheet in a corner .plz make sure no fan no sunlight!!u can forget looking at them for three days…n on the fourth day…just store them!!…yes it only takes max 4 days for this.
Coming to ‘jannate-e-gulab’…a very soothing, cooling n refreshing drink very simple to make ,with no preservatives….no added colour…..the pastel pink water with the aroma of cardamom n rose………..infact gives u the ‘jannat’ feeling J..!
1000ml………….water
1800gms…………sugar
1cup……………..rose petals
½ tsp…………….cardamom pwd
5gms…………….citric acid
Dissolve sugar in water.Add citric acid.Boil for 10 minutes.
Strain
Add cardamom and rose petals.
Leave over night.Bottle it up.
You can add red food color to make it look bright.
Isn’t it jannat..!!JEnjoy the drink n i will c u all tom…..
