It can be done with rose petals too, better if they are miniature roses - I don't know the exact name for miniature roses in english, they are called pitimini roses in spain.Other herbs that can be added, chopped as small as you can, are wild mint (hierbabuena) or lemongrass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395258446372592289.post-75529077044297184232007-04-05T07:05:00.000+02:002007-04-05T07:05:00.000+02:00Thank you for sharing this recipe...I am going to ...Thank you for sharing this recipe...I am going to give this a try...they sound wonderful<BR/><BR/>Just love all your lovely posts...am still reading them as well :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395258446372592289.post-2594448282813643702007-04-04T21:37:00.000+02:002007-04-04T21:37:00.000+02:00Lovely.
