Floral Water - Easy Recipe, Multiple Uses
As you know by now there are many flowers that are edible. They can be eaten either fresh or dried, used in sweet or savory dishes, or for teas and cocktails. Today I’m going to share a really easy recipe with you for ‘Floral Water’.
Floral Water can be used as an alternative to plain water to add flavour to ice cubes, baking, or to drink.You can also put it in a spray bottle and use it as a refreshing face spritz.
As always make sure the flowers you are using are safe to consume. (You can look at my post ‘My Top Three Rules For Using Edible Flowers’.)
