ROSE SIMPLE SYRUP

This post will show you how to make a delicious Rose Simple Syrup for a delicate, floral sweetener for your next latte, tea, coffee, lemonade or refreshing summer beverage. 

Just three ingredients are needed to make this delightfully rosy simple syrup. 

• 2/3 cup Organic Rose Petals - food grade
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 cup filtered or spring water

First, combine the dried roses, sugar and water in a medium saucepan/pot on the stove over medium heat. Stir to combine.

Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes. Turn heat down to keep at a simmer.

Remove from heat and strain syrup through a mesh strainer to remove rose petals. I made this batch while staying with a friend so a mesh strainer wasn't available. Let go of perfection and use what you have and enjoy sipping on rose petals. 

Pour a tiny amount in your lemonade or use it to sweeten your tea or morning coffee. It is truly refreshing in lemonade or with sparkling water.

Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator and enjoy for up to two weeks.
