✏️Ingredient Notes
- Rose petal - My favorite product to use is culinary-grade dried rose petals from Suncore Foods. It has a subtle rose flavor, but is not as strong as rose water.
- Sugar - To make a rose-flavored simple syrup, we will need granulated sugar for this recipe.
- Ground cardamom - Cardamom and rose go well together. It has the perfect amount of spice and flavor, so it doesn't overpower the subtle rose flavor.
