1
Prepare the Rose Petals
Rinse the fresh rose petals under cold water to remove any dirt or insects. Gently pat them dry with a clean towel.
2
Make the Syrup
In a large saucepan, combine the rinsed rose petals, sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat while stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
3
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the color to deepen.
4
Strain the Syrup
After simmering, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl or jar, discarding the solid petals.
5
Flavor the Syrup
Add lemon juice and vanilla extract to the strained syrup, stirring well to combine. This will enhance the flavor and aroma of the syrup.

6
Chill the Syrup
Let the rose syrup cool completely, then refrigerate it for at least 1 hour before serving.
7
Prepare Glasses
In serving glasses, add a tablespoon of the cooled rose syrup. You can adjust the amount based on your sweetness preference.
8
Add Mint and Garnish
Top the glasses with a few fresh mint leaves and garnish with 5 rose petals for an elegant touch.
9
Serve and Enjoy
Serve the Proverb Rose chilled over ice or as a refreshing summer drink. Enjoy the aromatic blend of flavors!
