Happy birthday to the Queen of French cooking!
To honor Ms. Child, I thought I'd post some amazing recipes with an fabulous, fancy and schmancy ingredient I've just discovered: rose water. It's a little hard to find, but Whole Foods and most Asian food stores carry it, and a bottle goes a long way.
It's like a bottle of classy- add it to anything to create an air of sophistication.

I also made up my own recipe you can try:
Rose Water Cocktail
1 shot gin or vodka
1/2 shot rose water (more to taste)
1 shot St. Germain
Top off with sparkling soda or champagne
Garnish with rose petals or, for a refreshing aftertaste, cucumber slices
Enjoy!
I like to add a little rosewater or orange blossom water to lemonade.
ReplyDeleteRosewater is also really good for your skin - I use it as a nightly in place of astringent. And you smell beaaautiful!
