Cover with a measured quantity of water. Steep on low heat (no boiling) until the petals turn white and the water turns a gorgeous pink.<br /><br />Strain petals (and any stray bugs) out. Add sugar to equal water and heat slowly until it dissolves. This recipe seems to benefit from a low, slow heat that keeps the aromatic rose essence from boiling off.<br /><br />This is great on crepes, fresh peaches or yogurt. Nice as a sweetener for green tea - and very, very nice with bourbon on the rocks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-86386245041153777372010-08-25T22:08:28.301-04:002010-08-25T22:08:28.301-04:00How about picking a large amount of wild violet fl...How about picking a large amount of wild violet flowers, the more purple the better.

Lemons, Limes, Oranges, Grapefruit, whatever you like. Cut the peel into strips about a quarter inch wide, and make sure you remove all of the white pith. She puts them in a pot and covers the with water, brings it to a boil, then drains it and does it again with fresh water. After she drains that, she adds the water and sugar for simple syrup, and simmers it up with the peels. Then remove the peels and roll them in sugar for a candy treat.<br /><br />The resultant citrus syrup is awesome in most cocktails. I prefer a jigger of it in a tumbler of a good anejo or reposado tequila.<br /><br />CaseyCaseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583096053655162834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-33017663339240993912010-08-24T19:37:46.593-04:002010-08-24T19:37:46.593-04:00A fizzy creamsicle?

The infusion would be by experimentation. I'm thinking the mint leaves could either by strained out before refrigerating your syrup (or after a week in the refrig and prior to using). <br /><br />As for hot & sweet chile pepper, they use red or green jalapenos for jelly. The sugar makes the sweet and the pepper makes the hot. You might explore the wide range of chiles for the flavor you like. I'd say no to chipotle (too smokey) and unless you have asbestos tongue, no to Scotch bonnet or habanero. But serranos, anejos, anchos or even cascabels could give you an extensive flavor palette. <br /><br />Store in any jar in the refrigerator. If crystals form, simply reheat to dissolve them.Ed Rasimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667325554289268659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-54928307468786773932010-08-24T16:51:48.622-04:002010-08-24T16:51:48.622-04:00How would I make mint simple syrup?
