Ingredients
- 1½ cups caster or raw sugar
- ¼ cup freeze-dried finger lime

3. Spread with a palette knife if there are any patches of sugar that have not started to melt.
4. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freeze-dried finger limes, rose petals and sandalwood nuts. Set aside for 10 minutes to set.
5. Break into shards to serve. This brittle can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
