A delicious drink to get your sugar fix from.


Ingredients for about 2.5 liters:
600 g rose petals
1 liter water
2000 g (2 kg) sugar
15-20 g citric acid


Preparation time: 1 hour +


Difficulty: ☺☺


Preparation:

Wash the fresh rose petals and clean the bottles you fill the rose syrup in.

Pour 1 liter water in a saucepan, add the rose petals and boil for 5 minutes, or until rose petals turn white. Filter the petals, squeeze thoroughly – do not leave any water in them. Add the sugar to the water and boil – stirring occasionally – until sugar melted. Now add citric acid to taste, and fill the bottles, while the syrup is still hot. Close the bottles and put them in a warm place – under blankets. After 2-3 days you can use the syrup.

Store in a cold place.


The way we use it:

Add 8 part water to 1 part syrup, or to taste.


Hint:

• Use only sweet, pink rose petals.
• Do not collect the roses from the roadside, or from a rose farm/nursery.
• Do not use sick or sprayed flowers.
• Do not boil the syrup too long or too many times, because it looses its taste.
• You can add 1.5 g preservative to 1 liter syrup.
• For brighter color add red food coloring.

Enjoy!
