003: STARLACE ROSE SORBET

🧊 Scroll 003: Starlace Rose Sorbet with Crystallized Nectar Dust

“They say this sorbet was first served beneath twin moons to lovers who met once per century — cool as comet-light, sweet as surrender.”

📜 Origin & Purpose

First crafted in the crystal gardens of Aurialis Prime, this sorbet became a ceremonial dessert for peace rituals and sacred partings. It is delicate, dreamy, and slightly unreal — made for oracles, emissaries, and soft-voiced rebels. At The Veiled Comet, it’s served only after flame-kissed meals and bittersweet confessions.

  • Flavor Memory: Rose water, lychee, lemon dusk, a kiss beneath violet sky
  • Served With: Crystallized nectar dust, edible silver petals, a chilled moon spoon

🌿 Ingredients (Earthly Form)

❄️ Preparation Ritual
