A Touch of Al Khair Rose Water to Enhance Your Cuisine

The beauty of a rose is unparalleled. But its most remarkable aspect is that its loveliness is not superficial. Everything which comes from a rose-- may it be its oil or water-- is beneficial. Rose water which is the hydrosol portion of the distillate of rose petals has extraordinary boons—it has also been used as a perfume, cosmetically, medically as well as to lend flavour to cuisine.

Rose water has a very distinct flavour and is used generously in Muslim culture and Cuisine. Several Persian and Middle Eastern desserts like nougat, raahat, Turkish Delights and baklava incorporate Rose water in their recipe. In fact, in the Middle East rose water is commonly added to lemonade.

Iranians’ preference for rose water is clear by the fact that they add a dash of rose water to tea, ice cream, cookies and other sweets. In the Indian Sub continent and the Arab world, rose water is used to flavour water, milk, dairy-based dishes such as ‘Kheer’ (rice pudding), lassi (a drink made from yogurt and water) and jallab. Rose water also enhances the flavour of traditional sweet meats especially ‘gulab jaman’.

The flavour of ‘Bandung’, found in Malaysia and Singapore, which is a drink made from milk, sugar and pink food colour is also heightened by adding a splash of rose water. Some Muslim cultures even enhance the taste of savory dishes, rice recipes and meats like lamb with the subtle aroma of rose water.

May it be the exotic almond sweet Marzipan, a dessert, sweet meat or a tall, refreshing drink or cocktail—opt for Al Khair Rose water which when drizzled in the right quantity can add that inimitable natural flavour of pure rose to your cuisine.
