Prep Time: 5

Steep Time: 20

Equipment

Ingredients

½ cup dried culinary grade rose buds or petals
1 cup water
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup hibiscus flowers optional
red food dye optional

Instructions

Dissolve sugar in water. See Note 1.
Once the sugar is completely dissolved, turn off the heat. Add rose petals and (optional) hibiscus. See Note 2.
Steep the rose petals for 20 minutes. Remove the hibiscus flowers after 3-5 minutes.
Strain the syrup and let cool to room temp. Once cooled, you can mix in red food dye if desired.
Store in a clean glass jar and refrigerate until use.

Notes

Note 1. You can dissolve the sugar in hot water using either the stovetop or a hot water kettle. If using a hot water kettle, make sure to use a heat-proof vessel to add the hot water.

Note 2. We recommend keeping the flowers separate because they have different steep times and will be easier to remove. We used a tea strainer to do this.
