>>I know you can buy rose syrup in most Middle Eastern
groceries, and it's probably made pretty much the same way. I guess what I'm
getting at is how much of the sekanjabin process you're talking about
applying. Are we talking about just making a syrup cooked with rose petals,
an extremely sweet rose "tea"? It _ought_ to work pretty well.<<
I don't know much about Sekanjabin syrup, but rose syrup I do know. The
stuff you can get in ME markets is heavily adulterated with citric acid and
tastes more citrus than rose. It's also artificially colored an amazing (and
unnatural) bright red.
I have a recipe for rose syrup in Stefan's Florilegium -- it's essentially a
very strong infusion of rose petals, which is then boiled with sugar until it
thickens. Is that how sekanjabin syrup is made?
