Calories 7kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon rosewater
- ½ teaspoon crushed dried rose petals
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar, crushed rose petals and rosewater until the texture resembles sand.
- Spread the mixture over your silicone mold, making sure it is densely packed in, nice and tight. Run a butter knife or bench scraper across the top to level the sugar cubes.
- Let the cubes dry overnight. If you are using a larger mold, it might take another day or two to set. How long it takes to set depends on the humidity and the size of the mold used.
- Gently remove from molds and store in an airtight container until ready to use.
Notes
You can use any kind of sugar, just be sure that the mixture has enough liquid to hold its shape.
Other flavoring options you can mix in are dried lavender, mint, cinnamon, ginger, anise, or grated zest from citrus fruits.
Other liquids you can mix in include orange blossom water, vanilla extract, almond extract or other flavored extracts.
You can also keep it simple and just use water and sugar.
TO STORE: Store your sugar cubes in an airtight container. They will keep like this indefinitely when stored like this at room temperature.
