Wild Rose Syrup

Wild Rose Syrup

Making a batch of rose syrup is easy (once you get the petals picked). Enlist the help of some friends or family to pick a couple cups of these sweetly scented petals while you can. Then, make this beautiful syrup to remind you of summer all year round. It's delicious in cocktails, mocktails, or just drizzled over fresh fruit. Try it in a vinaigrette or over vanilla ice cream. 

Ingredients
  

  • 1 to 2 packed cups wild rose petals, cleaned
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Muddle rose petals to gently bruise and slightly crush them. This will help release their scent and flavor.
    Combine sugar and water in a small sauce pan and bring to a simmer. Add rose petals and lemon juice and let simmer for about 10 minutes.

    Strain the petals out of the simple syrup. You can return syrup to a simmer to further reduce if desired.
