Steps:
- 1. Bring water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Simmer for 10 minutes. Add the lime juice and rose water and cook 10 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
- 2. Remove the pan from heat and allow to cool. Pour the syrup into a clean, dry bottle; cork tightly.
- 3. In a pitcher, mix 1 part syrup, 3 parts water, and 2 ice cubes per person. Stir with a spoon and serve well chilled. NUSH-E JAN!
- Variations:
- Saffron Syrup(Sharbat-e Zaferan) - Add 1/2 teaspoon ground saffron threads diluted in 2 tablespoons hot water to the rose water. Barberry syrup(Sharbat-e zereshk) - Add barberry juice to the rose water syrup above and cook for 5 minutes. Barberry juice can be made from dried barberries by picking over and thoroughly washing 2 cups of barberries. Combine with 4 cups of water and boil for 15 minutes over high heat. Allow to cool and pass through 2 layers of cheesecloth into a bowl. Almond syrup(Sharbat-e badam) - Replace rose water with almond milk. To make almond milk puree 2 cups blanched almonds with 3 cups of boiling water in a food processor for 5 minutes, until creamy. Strain the mixture through 2 layers of cheesecloth into a bowl. Reserve the almond milk and discard the solids. Persian musk rose syrup(Sharbat-e nastaran) - Replace rose water with musk rose water. Basil-seed syrup(Sharbat-e tokhm-e Sharbaty) - Soak 1 cup of basil seeds in 2 cups of water for a few hours, then add soaking seeds to the syrup in Step 2. An excellent syrup, this sharbat is especially associated with the mother of a newborn baby. Mint leaf syrup(Sharbat-e nana) - Replace rose water with mint water. Orange blossom syrup(Sharbat-e gol-e bahar narenj) - Replace rose water with orange blossom water. Licorice syrup(Sharbat-e lasmo) - Replace rose water with licorice water. Palm syrup(Sharbat-e taruneh) - Replace rose water with palm water. Willow syrup(Sharbat-e bidmeshk) - Replace rose water with willow water.
- NOTE:Rose water(suitable for cooking) and most of the distillates (called araqs in Persian) listed here are available in Persian stores (produced by Sadaf or Qortas).
- Najmieh Batmanglij shares her tips with Epicurious:
- •Batmanglij recommends buying saffron in thread form rather than powder, which is often adulterated with turmeric. Before they can be used in a recipe, the threads must be ground with a cube of sugar, using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, and then diluted in hot water. "The saffron water can then be stored and used as needed," says Batmanglij. "Never use the unground threads." •Dried barberries, which add a sour flavor to many Persian dishes, are available online at www.sadaf.com. "Always buy red barberries," cautions Batmanglij. "Black barberries are old." •Try experimenting with different distillates in this drink. Musk rose water, made from white Mediterranean roses, gives the sharbat a different flavor than regular rose water, which is made from Persian Damask roses. Willow water is flowery, while palm water has an earthy flavor.

Yield Makes 8 servings with leftovers
Number Of Ingredients 20
Steps:
- Make cake:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour cake pan, knocking out excess flour.
- With blender motor at high speed, add half of toasted almonds through top hole and finely grind (be careful not to grind to a paste). Transfer to a bowl and grind remaining almonds in same manner, transferring to bowl. Add flour, baking powder, and salt to ground almonds and whisk until combined well.
- Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until foamy, about 15 seconds, then add superfine sugar a little at a time, beating. Continue beating until mixture is thick, pale, and forms a ribbon when beater is lifted, 7 to 8 minutes in a stand mixer or 10 to 14 minutes with a handheld. Add butter in a slow stream, beating, then add milk and almond extract and beat until just combined. Reduce speed to low, then add flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Spread batter in pan, smoothing top, then sprinkle evenly with sliced almonds. Bake until top is golden, cake begins to pull away from side of pan, and a wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool cake in pan on a rack 30 minutes, then run a knife around edge to loosen and invert onto rack. Turn cake right side up on rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes more.
- Make strawberries in syrup:
- Bring water, sugar, and lemon juice to a boil in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved, then boil, uncovered, until reduced to about 2 cups, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer syrup to a bowl and cool completely. Stir in strawberries and rose water and macerate at room temperature 30 minutes.
- Whip cream and assemble dessert:
- Beat cream in a large bowl with cleaned beaters until it holds soft peaks.
- Cut cake into 4 squares and reserve 2 squares for another use. Carefully cut each of remaining 2 squares diagonally into quarters for a total of 8 triangles, then halve each triangle horizontally. Sandwich triangle halves with strawberries, syrup, and whipped cream.

SPICED ROSE WATER SYRUP
A little of this over cut-up fresh fruit which is then chilled -- heaven! You can vary the spices, adding such things as star anise or cardamom pods, cloves, allspice berries. If you have access to unsprayed rose petals, make your own rose water--there are recipes on Zaar--and save a ton of money. Note: cooking time is really cooling time.

COTTAGE GARDEN ROSE-PETAL SYRUP (SWEETENED ROSE WATER)
From my cottage garden friend Glynnis, who has the most wonderful garden, and much knowledge of herb lore! Try it with lavender, lemon balm (but it will be brown) or rosemary (over pound cake!!). Orange blossoms are delightful! Serve in cocktails, teas, or lemonade. Great drizzled over pancakes, pound cake, fruit or ice cream. Thicken with a little confectioner's sugar for a cookie or cake glaze. A great base for rose jelly, and makes wonderful gifts! She also makes a version with Red Clover, but uses more petals and lets it steep overnight, says it is mostly sweet but very good for you. P.S. You can make a simple undistilled version of orange blossom water or rose water by omitting the sugar in this recipe.

Steps:
- Heat the water to a boil,add the sugar and turn off the heat.
- Add the rose petals, cover, turn heat to low, and let simmer for one hour until thick and syrupy. Stir in food coloring of choice.
- Strain through a filter and pour into clean (preferably sterilized) bottles, cap them and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks. May be frozen.
- Note: The darker the petals, the darker the syrup. Adding orange or yellow petals can make it brownish so a few drops of food coloring can come in handy if you think you need it.
- Try it with orange blossoms, lavender, lemon balm, red clover or rosemary (no stems). Serve in cocktails, teas, or lemonade. Great drizzled over pancakes, pound cake, fruit or ice cream! Thicken with confectioner's sugar for a cookie or cake glaze. A great base for rose jelly, and makes wonderful gifts!
