Rose with French Vanilla Turkish Delight

Methods and Directions

• Grease a 20cm square cake pan with oil and line base and sides with plastic wrap.
• Combine the sugar, water and glucose in a large saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and bring to the boil. Cook, without stirring, until syrup reaches 121°C (softball) on a candy thermometer.
• Meanwhile, combine cornflour and 2 tbs water in a small bowl. Soak gelatine in a small bowl of cold water until softened. Gently squeeze gelatine to remove water. Add to the sugar syrup and stir until gelatine dissolves. Add the cornflour mixture and stir until well combined.
• Add the Rose with French Vanilla tea leaves, rose water and red food colouring and stir to combine.
• Pour into the prepared pan. Place in the fridge for 3 hours or until firm to the touch and set.
• Sift icing sugar and extra corn flour together in a large bowl. Dust a clean work surface with icing sugar mixture. Turn Turkish delight onto icing sugar.
• Use a sharp knife to cut into squares and toss into remaining icing sugar mixture to coat.
