1
Gather Ingredients
Collect all the ingredients listed above including fresh rose petals, sugar, water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
2
Wash Rose Petals
Gently wash the rose petals under cool running water to remove any dirt or insects. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

3
Simmer Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the washed rose petals, sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
4
Cook and Stir
Cook the mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the petals are soft and the sugar is fully dissolved.
5
Add Flavor Enhancers
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

6
Strain the Mixture
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the rose petal mixture into a clean container, discarding the solid petals.
7
Serve or Store
You can serve the rose syrup immediately over desserts, drinks, or store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
