What is rosewater?
Fragrant rosewater is a Middle Eastern staple and is used in both sweet and savoury recipes. It is created by steeping rose petals in water and adds a delicate floral aroma to your recipes.
You will either find it in the baking section in your supermarket or in the International food aisle.
If you are unable to find rosewater you may substitute with vanilla extract.
Use 1½ teaspoons of vanilla extract for every 2 tablespoons of rosewater in any recipe.
Add a fragrant citrusy floral note to your next salad
with this Middle Eastern-inspired vinaigrette.
