Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 oz Dried rose buds Rose water

1 lb Loaf sugar

Finely pound the dried rose-buds. Wet the sugar in rose water, and
boil to a candy height. Put in your powder of roses and the lemon's
juice. Mix all well together, put it on a pie plate, and put it into
lozenges, or make it into any figure you fancy, such as men, women or
birds. If you want ornaments for your dessert, you may gild or
colour them to your liking.
