      Yield: 1 servings
 
      1 tb Powdered gum arabic
      1 tb Rose water
           Violet blooms
           Superfine sugar
 
  NOTE: Both gum arabic and rose water are available
  from drugstores or cake decorating supply stores.
  
  Dissolve the gum arabic in the rose water and leave
  until the solution becomes a paste.  Using a small
  brush, paint each violet all over with the solution,
  then dip the flowers in superfine sugar.  Leave to dry
  on a wire rack in a warm place.  Store the petals in
  an airtight container, and use them on desserts as an
  edible garnish.
