Servings 1.3 l
Ingredients
- 2 - 3 organic roses
- 20 ml rose water** or to taste (food grade)

- 1 l sparkling water
to serve
- organic rose petals
- organic lemon slices

Instructions
- Pluck petals from roses.
- Put sugar and 200 ml of water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring so that the sugar dissolves before the syrup boils.

- Place the lid tightly on the saucepan and let the syrup steep until it has cooled to room temperature (or at least 3 hours).

- Add lemon juice to the rose petal syrup.
- Pour sparkling water over the syrup.
- Add rose water and stir.

Notes
- You can adjust the amount of rose water to taste. It is best to add it to the lemonade in small portions and taste it each time.
- You can also make the soda without rose water. In this case, take a little more rose petals.
- The amount of lemon juice can be adjusted as you like.
- Take the amount of sugar according to taste.
- You can also make the drink with non-carbonated mineral water or with tap water. I use sparkling water fresh from the sparkling water maker**.
