- Add the lemon juice. Allow to cool promptly, transfer to a clean food-safe bottle, and refrigerate.
Original source & safe-storage notes
- Source fidelity: Preserved from the Globe Amaranth Flowers Shopify product-description archive. The source explicitly gives 10 dried flowers, 1 tbsp rose petals, 250 ml water, 200 g sugar, 1 tsp fresh lemon juice and 5–8 minutes gentle simmering. It says to infuse briefly without a stated duration. No steep time, final yield, pH or shelf life has been invented.
- Refrigeration clarification: The archived preparation concludes with cooling and bottling but does not validate room-temperature storage. This draft explicitly requires refrigeration, clean bottles and prompt cooling. It is not a tested shelf-stable syrup or a home-canning recipe; discard if spoiled, and do not claim an unsupported storage period.
- Ingredient verification: Correct active dried Gomphrena globosa and culinary Rosa spp. ingredients; do not substitute sprayed decorative flowers. Use a clean, fine strainer to remove the dried floral solids.
- Individual suitability: Avoid with known botanical allergies. During pregnancy, breastfeeding, medication use or relevant health conditions, check suitability of concentrated floral preparations individually. This is a culinary idea, not a treatment claim.
