Recipe: Homemade Rosehip Syrup
 
Ingredients:
500 g Rosehips
250g Sugar
750 ml Water
 
Directions:
Bring water and rosehips together in a pan and bring to a boil. Let steep for 30 minutes to an hour.
Strain the rosehips through a muslin lined sieve twice to make sure there are no solids.
Measure the juice and for every 500 ml of juice use 250g of sugar. (If there is half that then use half the sugar. It should be roughly a 1:1/2 ratio.)
Heat the mixture gently until all the sugar has dissolved then boil for about 3 minutes to thicken. (You can boil it a bit longer, as it depends on how thick you want the syrup but don’t do longer then 10 minutes)
Pour syrup into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 6 months.
Notes: This recipe is great added to lemonade or used as a sort of mixer in drinks.
