My rose lemonade recipe uses rose buds to create a rich rose syrup that will make your drink extra fragrant with a vibrant color. No matter whether you're hosting or just want a refreshing drink, you can’t miss out on this one!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup edible dried rose buds
  • 1 1/2 cups lemon juice (juice from 8 lemons)
  • 6 cups still or sparkling water
  • Ice cubes
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat 1 cup water in a small saucepan until boiling. Add the sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Turn to low heat and add the rose buds. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let the rose syrup cool off. If you have extra time, keep the rose buds in the syrup to infuse more flavor and color. Once ready to serve, drain the syrup and remove the rose buds. Reserve some rose buds for garnish if desired.
  • Combine the lemon juice, your choice of still or sparkling water, and the syrup. Mix well.
  • To serve, fill your glasses with ice, pour in the rose lemonade, and garnish with lemon slices and extra rose buds if preferred.
