How to Prepare Rose Petals & Cardamom Syrup [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Gently clean the rose petals, rinsing in a big bowl first (leave to soak for 5 minutes), then under fresh water. (If using dry rose petals – skip step #1.)
  2. In a medium pot, add the rose water (or filtered water) and fresh rose petals or dry rose petals, bring to a boil, and then simmer for 10-15 minutes until the petals become transparent.
  3. Crush the cardamom pods with a mortar and pestle. Set aside.
  4. Drain the rose water using a nut milk bag or a fine strainer.  Squeeze all the juice out as much as possible.
  5. Add the rosy-coloured water back to the pot and add the sugar and cardamom. Bring to a boil, add the lemon juice, then simmer with a lid on for 20 minutes or until the liquid gets a thicker syrupy consistency.
  6. Once ready, set aside to cool down, strain again to remove the cardamom pods/ pieces, and store in a glass bottle (500 ml).
  7. Refrigerate and use within two months. For longer keeping, sterilize the glass bottle first and use it within six months (refrigeration recommended).
