Romantic dishes for Valentine's Day or any other significant days are prepared following the instructions of recipes using rose petals. Though used mainly for colour and garnish, rose petals do add a sweet and unique floral flavour to different foods.When cooking, only fresh blossoms should be used. If roses are bought from a florist, one should make sure they haven't been sprayed with anything toxic. Roses from the garden should be rinsed to dirt and/or bugs. Bugs are not romantic. Flavours depend on type, colour, and soil conditions. Their flavour is often reminiscent of strawberries and green apples and sweet, with subtle undertones ranging from fruit to mint to spice. All roses are edible, with the flavour being more pronounced in the darker varieties.
In miniature varieties they can garnish ice cream and desserts, or larger petals can be sprinkled on desserts or salads. They can be frozen in ice cubes and made them float in punches. The petals can be used in syrups, jellies, perfumed butters and sweet spreads. Roses can also be used to make soup and icecream or simply to add an exotic touch in any dish. The bitter white portion of the petals should be removed. Rose Petal Tea can be made from rose hips or rose petals. This tea has a lightly floral taste with a slightly tangy flavour. Rose tea makes a very elegant tea to serve for an afternoon tea party.
