You can scented sugar for tea or for baking! There are at least 150 different varieties of scented pelargonium (commonly known as scented geraniums), including mint, rose, apple, apricot, nutmeg, lemon, orange, lime, ginger, cinnamon and coconut, to name a few. Species of Pelargonium are evergreen perennials indigenous to Southern Africa and are drought and heat tolerant, and can tolerate only minor frosts. For this scented sugar I use rose scented pelargoniums / geraniums leaves that I became from my friends in Crete (Greece). Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
8 -12 geranium leaves (clean!) |
Directions:
1. Put a 1-inch layer down of sugar (1/2 cup of sugar) in a container. 2. Cover with a layer of leaves (your choice of flavors). 3. Top with another 1 inch layer of sugar (1/2 cup of sugar). Leave for a week to create scented sugar. |
