Rose syrup is easy to make and is the basis for many rose-flavoured dishes and drinks.

It tastes both aromatic and delicious. It is ideal for use in desserts such as rose ice cream, floral yoghurts, signature drinks, cakes and puddings.

We tell you how to prepare it with the following ingredients:

• 1 cup of fresh Red Passion™ Taste Of Love® rose petals
• 200 ml water
• 225 g white sugar
• Sugar (optional)

Preparation:
Put water and sugar in a small saucepan, stir until sugar is dissolved. Bring the syrup to the boil. Add the rose petals, turn off the heat and cover the pan. Leave the petals to infuse for at least a couple of hours. The longer the infusion time, the more intense the flavour of the syrup.

Separate the petals from the liquid using a colander and discard them. Bottle the syrup in jars or small bottles.
Store in the refrigerator where it can be kept in good condition for up to one month.
