how is gulkand made - #25582
I am really curious about how is gulkand made because I've been struggling with this persistent heat in my body lately. A few weeks ago, I was at a family gathering and my aunt brought this jar of gulkand, saying it’s great for cooling off. I took some, and while it was super sweet, I noticed a difference in how my body felt afterward, like it mellowed me out. Honestly, I never thought much about it till now, but learning how is gulkand made could help me make my own at home! I’ve read a little about the rose petals and sugar thing, but that’s where my knowledge stops. Is it really simple to do? How long does it usually take for the gulkand to be ready? I mean, does it require any special tools, or can I just use what I have in my kitchen? I feel like knowing all this will help me a lot, especially since it's such a hot season here! How is gulkand made, anyway? Would love some tips and tricks!

Gulkand is indeed an excellent remedy for cooling down body heat, as it pacifies the Pitta dosha by its cooling qualities. Making your own gulkand at home is a straightforward process, and I’m delighted to share how you can do that.
Firstly, you’ll want to gather some fresh rose petals, preferably from fragrant, pesticide-free roses. Damask roses (Rosa damascena) are commonly used due to their exquisite aroma and therapeutic properties. Start by washing the petals thoroughly to remove any dust or residue.
Now, where you’ll might need to pay a bit more attention is in layering. Alternate layers of rose petals and sugar in a sterilized glass jar. Make sure each layer of petals is generously covered with sugar. You’d want to use about equal weights of rose petals and sugar. For example, if you have 200 grams of rose petals, use 200 grams of sugar. Granulated white sugar or unrefined sugar work well in this process.
Once your jar is layered properly, cover it with a breathable fabric or lid. Your kitchen window sill, or any other place where it gets ample sunlight, is ideal for storing it. Let it sit in the sun for at least 2 to 3 weeks. The sunlight will help the sugar to melt and create a syrupy consistency with the rose petals, intensifying the flavor and benefits. Stir the mix occasionally with a clean, dry spoon to ensure even soaking.
Tools are just very basic – a jar and a spoon are sufficient besides your hands for washing and the sun’s natural warmth to do the magic! After a few weeks, the gulkand will take a rich, jellied form with rose petals infused in sugar.
Once ready, store it in a cool, dark place. You can savor a spoonful (about a teaspoon to tablespoon depending on preference) daily. During particularly hot days, take it in the morning or just before meals to harness its full potential for cooling and digestion.
By making gulkand this way, you get a simple yet effective mixture that can cool and calm your system naturally without the need for special equipment. Keep an eye on its texture and aroma to judge the readiness, and adjust storage time as seasons change; this is the natural rhythm Ayurveda respects.
