Qingyan Rose Sugar
Originally called "Sesame Slice Sugar." It is said that the earliest rose sugar was made in 1874 by people in Qingyan using rose petals, brown sugar, glutinous rice, wheat, sesame seeds, walnut kernels, and brown sugar, formed into strips or blocks. It has a fragrant aroma and a crispy texture. Sold at 5 yuan per jin, it leaves a lingering floral taste on your lips and teeth. There is also a type of rose petal jam made from dried rose petals, which can be steeped in water with honey to make a drink with a subtle sweet rose flavor. The version from Old Man Huang’s family is particularly famous.
