Hi!
We made the queen's cakes with rosewater, for my American Girl History class. Out of 16 girls and 5 moms, 1 kid didn't like them. The rosewater was a huge hit. By the way, we MADE the rosewater. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I took petals from rosebushes from my own back yard that had not been sprayed with anything. I put them on the bottom of a big pan that had a clean brick in the middle. I put a small Corningware bowl on the brick, then covered the petals with cold water.

Next I brought the water to a boil with the pan lid, filled with ice,upside down on the pan. (put the ice in a baggie so that as it melts it doesn't overflow the lid, and you can replace it quickly.) Because the lid was rounded, as the steam hit the cold lid and condensed, the droplets rolled down the lid to the middle and fell into the bowl.

Fun lesson in science and history at the same time! : )

Thanks for the recipe! I'm sure we'll use it!
