| Judith Olney |
NOTE: Both gum arabic and rose water are available from drugstores or
cake decorating supply stores.
Dissolve the gum arabic in the rose water and leave until the solution
becomes a paste. Using a small brush, paint each violet all over
with the solution, then dip the flowers in superfine sugar. Leave to
dry on a wire rack in a warm place. Store the petals in an airtight
container, and use them on desserts as an edible garnish.
