Rose Syrup

Hey everyone! I wanted to show you my newest addition to my food cabinet: Rose Syrup. Rose as in the flower, not the color.



I first became acquainted with the taste of roses in Paris, when I tried out the Religieuse à la Rose at Ladurée. A pastry so good, it makes you feel a little ‘religious’.

After that, I had to try out Pierre Hermé’s Rose Macaron, which was absolutely heavenly!


I bought this syrup at a store called ‘Oil & Vinegar’ for € 6,95 ($10). It’s only 20 centilitres (6.7 oz), quite small and expensive, I know, but I’ve been dying to find something rose-flavoured for months! So I was just filled with joy when I say this bottle standing in the racks.

They also had Rose Petal Jam for € 3,95, but after researching for a bit, I found out that Rose Syrup is more common to use in recipes and I don’t even want to say how many types of jam I own!

I'm thinking of baking a Rose Tart, or Rose Cupcakes or try another shot at making Macarons. What do you think?

Here are some pictures of Parisian Pastries that are made with Rose Syrup. Enjoy!
