💡 Pro Tips

To make rose petal syrup, combine 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water, and 1/4 cup of dried rose petals in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. To avoid bitterness, use only fresh and high-quality tea leaves.
