Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 225 grams (8 ounces) caster sugar
- 16 grams (0.6 ounces) dried rose petals
- 6 tablespoons rosewater
Acidic Ingredients:
- Juice of 1 lemon
Stabilizing Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon glycerine
Instructions
- Gently heat water and caster sugar (100 grams or ) in a saucepan, stirring until sugar completely dissolves over low temperature.
- Add fresh, fragrant rose petals to the warm syrup, allowing them to gently wilt and release their delicate essence for 2-3 minutes, then carefully remove the pan from heat.
- Incorporate additional cold water, premium rosewater (30 milliliters or 1 fluid ounce), and pure glycerine, then allow the infused mixture to cool naturally for approximately 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice (15 milliliters or 0.5 fluid ounces) into the rose-infused liquid, enabling the petals to macerate and slowly transform the syrup into a soft pink hue.
- Carefully strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently to extract maximum flavor, and discard the spent rose petals.
- Pour the strained rose syrup into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions until the mixture reaches a smooth, slushy consistency.
- If an ice cream maker is unavailable, transfer the liquid to a freezer-safe container and whisk vigorously every 30 minutes to prevent large ice crystals from forming.
- Once the sorbet reaches a firm yet scoopable texture, transfer to a sealed container and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours before serving.
Notes
- Rose petals infuse delicate floral essence, transforming ordinary water into a fragrant syrup.
- Glycerine helps create a smoother, less icy texture that melts softly on the tongue.
- Lemon juice balances sweetness while helping preserve the vibrant pink color of the sorbet.
- Periodic whisking prevents large ice crystals, ensuring a silky, elegant dessert experience.
- Freezing allows flavors to meld and develop a rich, concentrated rose profile.
