Why Make This Rose Simple Syrup Recipe?
Simple syrup is a culinary and cocktail staple made from sugar and water, and often infused with other ingredients (cranberries, ginger, citrus) to impart flavor. Although you can purchase commercially-produced cocktail syrups, it’s not difficult to make your own, and it’s cheaper, too. Decent rose drink syrups cost upwards of $15-20 on Amazon, and really only serve a few purposes: making floral and botanical-inspired cocktails and hot chocolates, or soaking cakes and cupcakes to keep them ultra-moist. In contrast, you can buy a bag of dried rose petals for under $10, and use them for all sorts of things, including baked goods, simmer pots, chocolates, garnishes, and more.
Rose Simple Syrup Ingredients
- Sugar – A grainy white sugar (such as granulated, caster, or superfine) creates the sweet sugar syrup.
- Rose Petals – When choosing dried rose petals, select a product clearly marked as food safe or culinary grade, or one indicating that it can be used in baking. (They’ll come in a big bag, so save the rest to make rose shortbread cookies or raspberry rose Rice Krispie treats!) Do not use anything not labelled as food safe, and do not use the petals from a bouquet of store-bought roses—it’s impossible to know whether these have been treated with pesticides or chemicals, rendering them inedible. Instead, save the flowers to make a homemade simmer pot, or dry the petals for potpourri instead.
