Rose-Scented Sugar image

You can use any edible, fragrant flower or herb, such as lavender or rose geranium, in place of the rose petals to make herbal sugars. They're excellent in hot and iced teas, fruit salads, baked goods, and icings -- just substitute the amount of sugar called for in a recipe with an equal amount of scented sugar.
