About about month or so ago i woke up at some crazy hour in the middle of the night with this great idea for a light summer desert and one of the ingredients was rose. I get most of my ideas in the middle of the night, so its a pretty regular occurence. All i can say is thank goodness for iphones!!
I soon discovered the next day that i had ran out of Rose Water, and put it like this is a task and a half to find ingredients like that in our town.. luckily i had fragrant dried rose petals so this is how the rose infused simple syrup came into play.
It has to be one of the simplest recipes ever invented i have to say and it would make a lovely accompaniment in a blackberry ice pop or raspberry prosecco cocktails.
All you need is...
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of Caster Sugar
- 1 cup of Water
- 3-4 teaspoons of Rose Petals
Method:
- Pour the sugar and water into a heavy based sauce pan over medium heat. (Little trick: Pour your water in first as the sugar will dissolve into the water.)
- Sterilise your jar or bottle in boiling water.
- Swirling the sugar mixture every so often until the sugar has dissolved, now add in 2-3 teaspoons of the petals.
- Bring the syrup to a boil for 3-5 minute or until slightly thickened.
- You may need to sieve the syrup before decanting into the warm jar. I added in 1 extra teaspoon of petals into the jar just to make it look pretty but its totally upto you.
LoveLx
