Flowers in Sugar
Ingredients
Directions
Clarify sugar to a caramel height by dipping a fork in it; it should throw sugar as fine threads.
Rub the insides of teacups with sweet oil.
In each cup, add 4 tablespoons of the sugar and flowers mixture.
Once cold, turn them out of the cups and serve piled on top of each other.
