Rosehip Syrup Recipe
How to make your own delicious and nutritious rosehip syrup with just 3 ingredients. This syrup can be used to sweeten a cup of tea, (my favorite!) drizzled on pancakes, or mixed in a cocktail.
Equipment
- Organic Rosehips | Cut & Sifted | Raw from Chile | 16oz/453g Resealable Kraft Bag | by FGO
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Dried Rosehips
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1 Cup Water
Instructions
- Combine water, rosehips, and sugar in a saucepan.
- Over low heat cook mixture until sugar fully dissolves, stirring occasionally.
- Turn off heat, cover pot, and allow the mixture to steep for 10 minutes.
- Strain our rosehips.
- Once the mixture is cool enough, transfer to a container with a lid.
- The syrup is ready for immediate use, or refrigerate.
Notes
- Sugar Alternatives – If you want to avoid sugar or perhaps use it for medicinal reasons, you can substitute sugar with honey. If using honey, I like to prepare the syrup and stir in the honey after straining out the rosehips. This method avoids heating the honey and helps to preserve its nutrients.
- Use good water.
- Substitute water with Rosewater (this will create a strong rose flavor)
- Citrus fruits and rosehips complement each other. Add some lemon or orange zest when cooking the syrup and strain out with the rosehips.
