Ingredients
  

Rose Syrup Ingredients

  • 1 cup edible dried rose petals Ensure they are food-safe.
  • 3/4 cup sugar or low carb sweetener Use a sweetener suitable for your dietary needs.
Lemonade Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice Freshly squeezed is recommended for best flavor.
  • 5-6 cups sparkling water or still water Use sparkling water for a fizzy touch.

Method
 

Make the Rose Syrup
  1. Combine water and sugar or sweetener of choice over medium heat, stirring occasionally until dissolved.
  2. Turn the heat to low, add rose petals, and stir until all petals are wet.
  3. Leave on low heat, stirring occasionally, until most of the color fades from the petals (about 10 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and allow to steep for another 10 minutes.
  5. Strain the mixture to cool and create the rose syrup.
Combine and Serve
  1. In a pitcher, combine the rose syrup, lemon juice, and soda water, stirring gently to combine.
  2. Serve in ice-filled glasses, garnished with lemon slices and edible rose petals.

Notes

For storage, the rose syrup can be kept in the refrigerator for up to one week in an airtight container. Add sparkling water right before serving to maintain its fizz. Avoid freezing.
