Ingredients
- 200 g rose petals
- 250 g water
- 250 g sugar
- Juice of ½ a lemon
Instructions
- Prepare the Rose Petals
Thoroughly wash the roses. Using scissors, trim the petals away from their stems, leaving the white tips on the stems behind and discarding the stems. - Soften the Petals
In a saucepan, combine the rose petals with the water. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes until the petals soften. - Blend and Strain
Using a slotted spoon, remove the petals and place them in a blender. Blend thoroughly.
Keep the juice remaining in the saucepan. Set a fine-mesh sieve over the saucepan and pour in the blended petals. Press with a spoon to extract as much pulp and flavor as possible. Scrape any pulp sticking to the outside of the sieve back into the saucepan. - Add Sugar and Lemon
Stir in the sugar and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat and simmer for around 15 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly. It should remain fluid enough to drizzle easily.
