Servings: Makes 1 1/2 quarts (1.5 litres) |
Comments: Through the centuries many herbs and flowers have often been referred to as aphrodisiacas (arousing or intensifying sexual desire). Roses often made the list as one of these love-inducing aphrodisiacas and this is where the "rose water" or "rose flower water" comes into play in this very seductive champagne sorbet. There's no guarantee, but give it a try and see what happens. Happy Valentine's Day! |
Ingredients: 3 cups water 1 1/4 cups superfine sugar 2 tablespoons rose water (sometimes called rose flower water) 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 cup pink champagne or blush colored sparkling wine |
Instructions: Combine water and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and transfer to a medium bowl. Let cool at room temperature for 1 1/2 hours. Stir in the rose water, lemon juice and champagne (or sparkling wine, if using). Freeze mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer sorbet to a large airtight container and place in freezer at least 2 hours or overnight before serving. Serve sorbet in pretty stemmed dessert glasses, and if desired, garnish with thin heart shaped cookies and candied edible flowers or sliced strawberries. Makes 1 1/2 quarts/1.5 litres sorbet. |
