Ah ha! That's a good thought. That would also explain why the mortar
and pestle descriptionof powder preparation didn't specifically
exclude the sugar candy of roses. Hmmmm. I have tons of rose water
at home. I wonder if a rock candy experiment isn't in order. I
just can't imagine that the sap of a rose bush would be extracted
or that a rose bush would be sacrificed for what little sap I can
imagine it has. But perhaps my bias is american and in this century.
