How To Make Flower Sugar

Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 3 to 4 days
Here's How:
1. Select edible flowers grown without pesticides. Lavender and roses are good choices.
2. If the flowers are small, such as lavender, leave them attached. With roses, remove the petals and discard the stem.
3. Place 1 cup of sugar into a zip-top bag.
4. Add flowers to sugar.
5. Squeeze out the air from the bag and seal.
6. Let rest for 3 to 4 days.
7. Sift the sugar from the flowers.
8. Store sugar in an airtight container.
9. Use flower sugar as a sprinkle for cookies or a sweetener for tea.
10. Makes 1 cup.
Tips:
1. Do not use flowers from a florist or nursery as they are probably contaminated with pesticides.
2. For color, you can add a tiny drop of food coloring to the finished sugar. Shake the sealed bag until the color is evenly distributed.
3. Be certain the flowers you choose are edible.
What You Need:
· Sugar
· Edible flowers
· Plastic resealable bags


For a quick and easy modeliing paste: Mix together equal quantities of flower paste and ready to roll icing (RegaI lce). This is ready to use immediately and can be stored wrapped in cling film in the fridge.
