For an even prettier visual, you can decorate each of the lemon and rose creams with dried rose buds. These dried flowers are sold in herbal shops and in some stores that sell tea and herbal teas.
In this recipe, they are only used for decoration because they cannot be consumed as is. If you buy them, you can use them in your homemade teas and infusions, to flavor tea or make homemade rose syrup.
Tasting tips.
You can enjoy these lemon and rose creams warm or cold. Try both versions: the taste and especially the texture are different after being refrigerated!
In this dessert, honey and rose floral water help balance the acidity of the lemon juice. Chia seeds, which swell when in contact with any liquid, have a gelling effect.
Chia seeds are known to be excellent for health as they are rich in fiber, minerals, and omega 3. It is also important to know that these seeds are not irritating to the intestines. On the contrary, these small seeds with multiple virtues facilitate intestinal transit because they are rich in mucilage.
In summary, these small creams make for a healthy, digestible, and delicious dessert. This recipe is also suitable for vegetarians who eat eggs.
