Ingredients

Servings: 650
  • 6 untreated scented roses (approx. 100 g rose petals; the colour of the syrup also varies depending on the colour of the flowers)
  • 500 g Sugar
  • 1⁄2 Tsp Citric acid (package)

Directions

  1. 1

    Remove rose petals from the flower head. Pour 1⁄2 l boiling water over the leaves. Add sugar and citric acid. Place a sieve on top so that all petals are covered with water. Cover the rose water and let it steep for 3 days at room temperature.

  2. 2

    Pour the brew through a fine sieve. Fill syrup immediately into clean, hot rinsed and tightly sealed bottles. If you are using a beer bottle, rinse it particularly thoroughly so that the beer smell/taste disappears.

  3. 3

    Seal the bottles. Store syrup in a cool and dark place.
