| It's good for desserts...and acne! |
The essence of rose, for example, in the form of rose water, is used in beverages and desserts at Chai Shai. And rose water, a culinary staple in Indian, Pakistani and Middle Eastern dishes, is beginning to waft into American kitchens, as in this light, summery rose-water sorbet.
Since the rose flower contains some 300 chemical ingredients, it has become what The New York Times calls "a power ingredient."
A fabled acne remedy, rose water is better-known for its uses in culinary creations. It can be used a substitute for vanilla, for example. The Times suggests adding a few drops to the egg-and-milk mixture for French toast or in a martini. And what about a cocktail called Rimbaud's Left Hand?
Summer's not officially over yet, so celebrate the waning days of the season with the fragrance and flavor of the rose.

It is really good in lemonade. There used to be a place on 39th St. in the old Otto's spot that served saffron rose water lemonade. I'm blanking on the name of the restaurant, but it was delicious.

THE PLACE IS CALLED:
ALADDEN'S CAFE 1415 W 39TH, KCMO. (Greek Food)
