Screwpine water

Kewra Jal

5 g1 teaspoon

15 g1 tablespoon

Water-like density; 4.93 ml tsp weighs about 5 g.

Nothing truly replaces screwpine's cool floral aroma; rosewater is the closest common swap.

• 
  Rosewater

  Use 75-100% of the weight, added off the heat. Floral but rose-scented, not screwpine.

• 
  Rose syrup

  Use 50-60% of the weight and reduce sugar by about the same amount. Sweet and pink-rose flavoured.

• 
  Saffron thread

  Steep 2-3 threads in 10 ml warm milk for every 10 g kewra water. Different, richer aroma.
