Crystallized Herbs

I’m not giving quantities here, since you can make as much as you like. Crystallized herbs bring a bright, sweet herb flavor to the plate when you use them as a garnish. You can follow the same procedure with rose petals, too; just make sure they are unsprayed, or pesticide-free.

Cooks' Note

In the restaurant, I store these with silica packets (see page 280) to keep them fresh for more than a day.
