Ingredients:

600ml water
800g sugar
1/2 tsp green cardamom seeds
60ml fresh lime juice
60ml pomegranate juice
1l fresh rose petals, white bases of petals removed

Method:

Combine the water and sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan. Heat until all the sugar has dissolved then add the green cardamom seeds along with the lime juice and pomegranate juice. Bring the mixture to a boil then take off the heat.

Crush the rose petals in a mortar then transfer to a heat-proof bowl. Rinse any paste in the mortar out with a little of the syrup then pour all the syrup into the bowl. Set aside until it cools to room temperature. Cover with clingfilm and store in the refrigerator over night. The following day strain the mixture and discard any solids.

Bottle and store. To serve, mix one part of the rose syrup with three parts of water and pour over ice in a tall glass.
