Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Add Flavors

    Stir in the fresh lemon juice, dried rose petals, and ground cinnamon into the sugar water. Let it steep for about 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Strain and Cool

    After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the rose petals. Allow the sherbet to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the chilled Ottoman sherbet over ice cubes in glasses. Garnish with chopped pistachios and a few rose petals if desired.
