Recipe #1

At home, you can create an extremely tasty, fragrant rose liqueur. Let’s consider the simplest recipe. For this you need to take:

• 500 g of petals;
• 2500 ml of water;
• 700 g of white sugar;
• 2 tsp. citric acid;
• 300 ml of alcohol.

Recipe:

1. Separate the petals from the buds, carefully sort through, removing damaged and under-flabby ones. Put them in a large saucepan.
2. Boil water (2 liters) separately, adding citric acid to it. Pour over the petals with acidified boiling water, cover well until completely cool. Put in the refrigerator for 48 hours. If the lid of the container is not airtight, the product will be spoiled by extraneous aromas.
3. After 2 days, filter this mixture, squeezing the petals well. Prepare a syrup from sugar and the remaining water, cool.
4. Pour the previously prepared mixture with syrup, adding alcohol. Pour the finished pink liqueur into a glass container for storage for about 2 weeks in a poorly lit place.

This recipe is quite simple for beginners in the business of making homemade alcohol. It is important to note that it is better to collect petals early in the morning or in the evening without sunlight. In terms of color, the tincture turns out to be approximately the same as the rose itself. Therefore, it is necessary to use bright varieties for a rich shade, and the petals must be freshly picked for a unique persistent smell. Dried ones are not suitable, as they have already lost their aroma.

Recipe number 2

To make a delicious tea rose tincture, you will need:

• 1000 ml of vodka;
• 300 g of petals;
• 1 tsp. citric acid;
• 1000 g of sugar;
• 1000 mol water;
• 5 liter capacity.

Step-by-step recipe:

1. Carefully sort and wash the petals. Pass them together with sugar through a meat grinder. Put the resulting paste into a container, pour vodka into it and shake properly.
2. Pour this mixture with water and mix well so that the sugar is completely dissolved. Close well and leave to infuse in a dark place for 1 month.
3. The finished tincture should be filtered through gauze, then pour citric acid.
4. Pour into a glass container, close tightly with corks. You can use the liquor after 3 days.
5. The infusion comes with a pronounced aroma of tea rose, which cannot be confused with anything else.

You can use 45% alcohol for the alcohol base instead of vodka, this is not essential. The main thing is that it is of high quality. Liqueur from tea rose petals will be perfectly stored in the refrigerator. At a low temperature, it will not spoil for a long time, and over the years its taste will only improve.

Bon appetit!
