Rose Petal Spiced Cider

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Quick Meals Drinks
Roses and apples are actually related (both belong to the Rosaceae family), so it's no surprise their flavors harmonize beautifully. This drink is elegant, floral, and slightly perfumed—a real treat for a date night or a quiet evening of 'me-time'. The rose flavor can be divisive, but if you enjoy Turkish Delight, you will love this.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Saucepan
  • Fine mesh strainer

Instructions

1 ✓

Heat the cider with the cinnamon, cloves, salt, and lemon slices until it simmers.

Tip: The acidity of the lemon helps 'ground' the ethereal flavor of the rose.
2 ✓

Remove from heat, wait until it cools slightly (to about 175°F / 80°C), then sprinkle in the rose petals.

Tip: Rose essential oils are very volatile; boiling would completely destroy them.
3 ✓

Cover and let steep (infuse) for 10-15 minutes.

Tip: Just like tea, rose needs time to release its flavor.
4 ✓

Stir in the honey, then strain the entire mixture.

Tip: The texture of the petals isn't very pleasant after soaking, so definitely filter them out.
5 ✓

Serve in cups, garnished with a fresh petal.

Tip: A few drops of rose water at the end can make the experience even more intense.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use garden roses?
Only if you are absolutely certain they haven't been sprayed! Florist roses are FORBIDDEN as they are treated with chemicals. The best option is dried petals from a health food store or rose water.
It tastes too 'soapy'.
You used too many petals. Dilute it with more apple and lemon; the acids will tone down that sensation.
