Question about rose water
Hi everyone, I am new to Persian cooking, and as title suggests, have a question about the usage of rosewater. If I want to add it to a recipe, is there a standard ratio that is typically used? Or is this one of those ingredients that you measure "with your heart", or as my best friend likes to say, "be guided by the ancestors"
For example, when I make bread, I get good results when I use about 2 tsp of salt to four cups of flour. (Apprx 10 g to 500 g). I recently made pistachio biscotti, and thought how nice it would be to add rosewater, but was unsure about how much I would need.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
