Frequently Asked Questions About Flower syrup
What is flower syrup made from?
Flower syrup is made by extracting the aroma of edible flowers into a sweetened liquid. Recipes may use rose, elderflower, violet or other flowers, so the flavour and ingredients vary; check which flower is named on the product or recipe.
How do you dilute flower syrup?
Mix flower syrup with cold water or sparkling water, adding a small splash first and adjusting to taste. It is concentrated and sweet, so you usually need much less syrup than water.
How can you make flower syrup at home?
To make flower syrup, steep clean, edible flowers in hot sugar water, strain out the petals, then cool and bottle the liquid. Use flowers that are positively identified as edible and have not been sprayed with pesticides.
Can you use flower syrup in cocktails?
Yes, flower syrup can add sweetness and floral aroma to cocktails and mocktails. It works especially well in drinks with citrus or sparkling water; start with a small amount so the floral flavour does not overpower the other ingredients.
Which flowers are safe to use for flower syrup?
Only flowers known to be edible are suitable for flower syrup; rose and elderflower are common choices. Avoid unidentified flowers and ornamental blooms, which may be toxic or treated with chemicals.
Does flower syrup need to be refrigerated after opening?
Yes, refrigerate flower syrup after opening and keep the bottle tightly closed. Homemade syrup should also be chilled and handled with clean utensils; discard it if you notice mould, fizzing or an unusual smell.
Can flower syrup replace simple syrup in a recipe?
Yes, flower syrup can replace simple syrup in many drinks, but it adds a floral flavour as well as sweetness. Begin with less than the recipe’s stated amount, then adjust to taste.
Does flower syrup taste strongly of flowers?
Flower syrup tastes sweet with a floral aroma, but the intensity depends on the flower and how the syrup is made. Rose syrup is often perfumed, while elderflower syrup can taste lighter and fruitier.
Can flower syrup raise blood sugar?
Yes, flower syrup can raise blood sugar because it is sweetened with sugar. If you have diabetes, account for the amount you use and ask your clinician or dietitian how it fits your individual plan.
Can you bake with flower syrup?
Yes, flower syrup can flavour cakes, glazes and fruit desserts. Because it adds liquid as well as sweetness, use it in place of some recipe liquid and sugar rather than adding a large amount without adjusting the mixture.

What is Flower syrup?
Flower syrup is a sweet, aromatic syrup made by infusing flowers in a sugar solution. The type of flower shapes its fragrance and flavour; the name does not point to one specific blossom, and recipes vary by region.
Its concentrated sweetness makes it useful in small amounts. Stir it into still or sparkling water, add a little to tea, or drizzle it over yoghurt, fruit or desserts. In places where floral syrups are familiar, they are often used to flavour drinks and sweets; elsewhere, it works much like any flavoured cordial. It is mostly sugar, with 70 g of carbohydrate per 100 g. For a lighter drink, start with a small spoonful and dilute it well with water, adding lemon if you like.
