Rose flavoured lemonade

For those of you who didn’t know…it’s true!  Roses are herbs, just like rosemary, mint and oregano!  This makes sense, when you consider that herbs are simply plants used for food, to enhance the flavour of food, for medicine, and for their aromatic properties. Herbs are either the leafy green or flowering parts of a plant.  Enter the rose.  Who would have thunk it? Although we have known that roses are edible for a long time, we never thought to wonder about their classification, until now.  And so, dear friends, a rose by any other name…is basically, an herb.

Simple syrup is simply the combination of equal parts water and sugar, heated until the sugar dissolves.  This is the best way to sweeten cold beverages which would otherwise not dissolve the sugar.  It can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for at least a week.  The amount of simple syrup called for in this recipe makes a lemonade which is sweet, but not too sweet.  You can, of course, adjust the amount of syrup that you add, so that it suits your taste.



The simple syrup which you will make for this lemonade is incredibly delicious.  After it is prepared and has cooled, dip a spoon into it for a taste.  This might inspire you to use this rose flavoured simple syrup in other ways!  We like to drizzle a bit of it onto plain yogourt and sometimes we pour just a tiny bit into a glass of sparking water.  If you make an extra batch of the syrup to experiment with, it will keep in the fridge for at least a week.
