How to make Gulkand Milkshake / Rose Petals Milkshake

Gulkand – the name is new to me until last year. Saw some of my blogger friends posting recipes, using this ingredient. So did some search in the net and bought the bottle from mustafa centre. Since I am trying this for the first time, thought of preparing an easy recipe using this, and hence tried this – Gulkand Milkshake. It was really great and I just love it. It is a jam like thing, which is made up of preserving the rose petals in sugar. It has lot of benefits like, reducing the heat from the body, strengthening the teeths and gums etc. (Source Wiki).

Mostly Gulkand is made from fresh rose petals and sugar. It has been used popularly in paan in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh etc. It is nomally prepared by crushing the rose petals along with sugar. But in India, people just mix the two ingredients and keep in sunlight until the sugar gets mixed with rose petals. This method helps to prevent the nutrients present in the rose petals.

In Ayurveda, it is specially prepared by mixing the rose petals with honey and some people even mix the rose petals with jaggery. Also gulkand has lots of health benefits which you can read from here.
