Equipment

  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 strainer or cheese cloth
  • 1 jar or bottle for storage

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup dried rose petals
  • 1 tsp dried hibiscus
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup honey

Instructions
 

  • Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan.
  • Turn the heat down to low, add the rose petals and hibiscus. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by about half.
  • Let it cool enough to touch, but strain flowers and mix with honey while it's still warm. Honey doesn't blend well in cold water.
  • Stir or shake until very well blended and store in jar or bottle in the fridge for up to 1 month.

Notes

You can substitute white sugar for honey to make a classic simple syrup. Same 1:1 ratio. Just add sugar to the rose water while it's still hot.
