Moroccan Rose Petal Mocktail

Allergens

N/A

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh rose petals (organic)
• 2 cups boiling water
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 3/4 cup club soda
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
• Ice cubes

Instructions

1. Begin by steeping the rose petals in boiling water to release their essence. In a heatproof bowl or jar, gently crush the petals with your fingers and allow them to steep for 10 minutes. Strain the mixture into a container through a fine mesh sieve to separate the petals from the infused liquid. Discard the petals. In a large pitcher, combine the rose infused water, honey, and lemon juice, stirring until the honey is dissolved completely. Add the club soda, gently stirring to combine the flavors. Fill 4 glasses with ice, pour the mocktail over the ice, and garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch.

Chef’s Insight

The delicate balance of sweet and tart flavors in this mocktail makes it a versatile choice for all palates, from the most discerning to those who prefer non-alcoholic beverages.

Notes

You can use dried rose petals if fresh are unavailable; just be sure to double the steeping time.
