Rose Water Syrup Panna Cotta Recipe

Some time ago I bought my first bottle of rosewater syrup to try a cocktail that used to order in a bar in Grenoble. I have only found this kind of syrup in gourmet stores around here. A little expensive, but it worths. So far I have only made two different things with it: the cocktail and this recipe of panna cotta. The cocktail it is great and the panna cotta even better. The latter is delicate like roses. Although I recommend to put only a little of coulis because otherwise you are going to lose the rose flavor inside the panna cotta, and… as you know… it is much better to eat roses than give them away 😉

Hints, Tips, and Tricks

 

• It can be served on a glass or in a plate. For the latter, we introduce som time the panna cotta in very hot water to allow the edges to melt a bit and then pour it on the dish.
• It can be accompaigned with red berries, pomegranates, lychees …
• Use only flowers suitable for human consumption. The ones in flower shops do not trend to be.
