Gulkand Mishri ~250g
🍯🌹 Mishri Gulkand - Nature’s Sweet Rose Preserve 🌿✨
Crafted in small batches using the traditional sun-cooked method ☀️, this gulkand marries the mellow clarity of Dhaga Mishri (rock sugar) 🪨 with the floral depth of Damask (Damascena) rose petals 🌹.
What's It & How We Make It
Our Mishri Gulkand is 60% Dhaga Mishri and 40% hand-picked, certified organic Damask rose petals 🌹. The whole mixture is layered and sun-cooked ☀️, allowing the sugar to gently extract, preserve and amplify the rose’s volatile oils and natural aroma - producing a soft, glossy preserve with restrained sweetness and perfume-forward character 🌸. The rock sugar (dhaga mishri) is produced using traditional methods for a clean, mineral-rounded sweetness that differs from refined sugar 🪨.
Taste & Texture
Fragrant, mellow and rounded - floral top notes with a clean, cooling sweetness ❄️. Texture is jam-like yet silky; rose petals soften to a delicate chew while retaining perfume 🌹.
Culinary & Wellness Uses
🌹 Spoonfuls as a digestive after meals (traditional use) 🍽️.
🌹Stir into warm milk, yogurt or lassi for a fragrant tonic 🥛.
🌹Use as a filling for artisanal sweets, kheer, or as a topping for panna cotta and cheesecakes 🍰.
🌹Add to herbal teas, mocktails or gourmet ice-creams for a floral lift 🍵.
Health & Functional Highlights
🌹Rose (Damask): aromatic, mood-uplifting, traditionally used for digestion and skin support 🌸.
🌹Dhaga Mishri: an unrefined rock sugar with a clean mouthfeel and lower processing; used traditionally as a gentle sweetener and cooling agent in Ayurveda 🪨.
Note: Gulkand is an indulgent traditional tonic - consume in moderation; contains concentrated sugars and is not a substitute for medical treatment ⚠️.
Storage & Shelf Life
🌹Sun-cooked and jarred hygienically 🍯.
🌹Shelf-stable if unopened; refrigerate after opening ❄️.
🌹Best consumed within 6-12 months.
