How to Make Rose Petal Iced Tea
- In a medium saucepan, gently combine 4 cups of water and 1/4 cup of sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add 1/4 cup of dried rose petals (or 1 cup of fresh rose petals). Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the rose petals to infuse their fragrant oils into the water.
- Remove from heat and let the tea steep for an additional 5 minutes.
- Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher, pressing gently on the rose petals to extract all the flavorful liquid.
- Allow the tea to cool completely before adding 4 cups of ice.
- Stir in the juice of 1/2 a lemon for a hint of citrusy brightness.
- Serve chilled and garnish with fresh rose petals and a lemon wedge for an elegant touch.
