This is a recipe for a classic Turkish rose-flavoured cordial that's typically diluted with water before serving.

Ingredients:

18 rose petals (Damascus rose)
5 red poppy petals (Opium poppy)
2 tsp powdered citric acid
1.2l water
300g sugar
2.5l water

Method:

Rinse and drain the petals and cut off any white parts at the base of the rose petals. Place these in a jar along with the 1.2l water and the citric acid. Cover and allow to stand for about 6 weeks. When ready store the extract in the refrigerator.

To drink, dissolve the sugar in the 2.5l of water and add enough of the extract to suit your taste and serve over crushed ice.
