Equipment

  • Mixer

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter 1 cup at room temperature = 8 oz
  • 4 cups powdered sugar 4 cups = 32 oz
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp rose water Nielsen Massey brand
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1-2 drops of color I used Chefmaster natural color- needs 6-7 drops of color

Instructions

  • Cream the butter with an electic mixer until creamy and smooth
  • Slowly add in the sugar 1-1/2 cup at a time until all is added on medium speed. Add in salt.
  • Once all sugar is incorporated, beat in rose water and milk.
  • Add color as desired and beat until frosting is light and fluffy.

Notes

Note, I used Nielsen Massey brand rose water and I find it very strong so I only used 1 tsp.  If you would like an even lighter rose taste, start with 1/2 tsp and taste it before adding more.
