Preparation


Traditionally, gulkand has been prepared with Damask roses.[3] Other common types of roses used include China rose, French rose, and Cabbage rose.[3] It is prepared using special pink rose petals and is mixed with sugar. Rose petals are slow-cooked with sugar, which reduces the juices into a thick consistency.[4]
