Ingredients

  • 1 cup Rose petals Rose or Red colour petals preferably
  • 4 tbsp Sugar

Instructions 

  • Collect the rose petals in a mixing bowl, now wash the rose petals really well.
  • After washing, drain the water completely. Spread them in a kitchen towel and let it dry completely.
  • Once the moisture is completely gone. Collect the rose petals in a blender and pulse them once or twice. Otherwise, tear the petals into small pieces. After pulsing, take a sterilizable jab spread down a layer of pulsed rose petals. Next, put a layer of sugar as shown in pic. Continue the layering with alternate layers of sugar and rose petals.
  • Allow the jar to stay on sun light up to 6-8 hours a day with lids lightly opened(see notes for instructions) for about 7- 10 days.

Notes

  • Make sure you always use a clean spoon when handling the Gulkand.
  • Instead of exposing the jar directly to the sun, You can also cover the lid with a mesh cloth. So there is some room for air circulation and you can prevent them from dust and insects.
  • We can use Gulkand in a variety of Indian recipes and it is also used as a medicine in Ayurveda.
  • A tsp of Gulkand a day reduces the body heat.
