Mint JULEP=Mojito

[socalkev]

Can you drink it like regular water? And is it true if you drink alot of it your breath pee & pooh and body sweat smell like roses? These is a bet i have with my sister. I say no way!

[danieldelaney]

@socalkev Probably. But you'll develop thorns too.

[MariaAbdullatif]

@socalkev rose water lowers your blood pressure, so drinking a whole ton of it in one go isn't advised.

[mikecook6266]

that has to be the worst mint julep ever.... you want to wake the mint up, by clapping it in your hands... you dont want to crush it.... Chlorophyll is bitter.... you dont want that flavour in the drink....

[danieldelaney]

@mikecook6266 haha - it wasn't THAT bad, but thanks for the tips!

[hotshots80]

hey Just for some more info on Rose Water , The rose water available in the market are of 2 types Synthetic and natural . its is very important for you to use the natural rose ONLY for cooking purpose .

[danieldelaney]

@hotshots80 Thanks for the added info!

[eskimolipss]

Request for a new WTF video! Please do a segment on Root beer!

[danieldelaney]

@eskimolipss Cool! I'll look into doing it!

[an00115]

water isn't exactly a food...

[danieldelaney]

@an00115 True. That's why I didn't do an episode on it!

[WatchMeSC]

Do liquid smoke next!

[danieldelaney]

@WatchMeSC I'm going to do it when I'm back home, because I have a smoker...

[WatchMeSC]

@danieldelaney Well alllright, I guess I can wait :D.

[PlatypusGuitar]

I thought you were going to be making orange juice with mint and I was all: YUK! Thats because where I live, we have these rare 50s style drive in diners shaped like huge orange domes called Orange Julep and they are famous for their (supposedly) freshly squeezed orange juice. If you google ''orange julep'' you will see what im talking about.

[danieldelaney]

@PlatypusGuitar oh no! haha. sounds strange!

[kerberos623]

Not only is liquid smoke done that way, but also distilling alcohol.

[danieldelaney]

@kerberos623 sure - but i'd rather bbq than beer. :P

[Babanyul1]

Try a really cold watermelon rosewater soup! It is delicious, pink and refreshing:)

[danieldelaney]

@Babanyul1 GOOD CALL, sounds so refreshing.

[cybersalad]

You can get rosewater flavor ice cream at Iranian ice cream shops in LA. Not bad.

[danieldelaney]

@cybersalad Yum! That sounds amazing.

[vickybee1984]

liquid smoke???!!?!

[kerberos623]

@vickybee1984 used as bbq glaze to add a smoke flavour from say "mesquite" or so.

[danieldelaney]

@vickybee1984 Yea! have you heard of it? NEW WTF!

[vickybee1984]

@danieldelaney  new WTF for sure please

[lazyhazycrazy]

Yep, I use rose water in a ton of Middle Eastern baked goods. Cool topic and cool recipe! Definitely trying it out. :)

[danieldelaney]

@lazyhazycrazy Sweet! Let me know how it goes.

[thePowerPlant]

Rose water mint julep? Clever Dan. But what if you subbed the powdered sugar with honey, and add a wee bit of lemon bitters? Make it Arabian-style. But really that part of the world is mostly "dry" so its kind of ironic, no?

[danieldelaney]

@thePowerPlant Good points! I think that'd be awesome.

[TwistedAlphonso1]

i wonder what just the rose water tastes like?

[thePowerPlant]

@TwistedAlphonso1 lol. Is this a joke? Hint: it tastes like roses.

[onichiwawantan]

@thePowerPlant... i think it is my firend.
