1. Give the flowers a good shake to ensure there are no insects hiding among the petal and rinse lightly in cold water. Trim the steams and remove any leaves. 2. In a large pan, heat the sugar and water, stirring until all the sugar has dissolved completely. Bring to the boil and then remove from the heat. Allow to cool a little, then add the flowers, rose water, lemon rind, lemon juice and citric acid. Stir well, and cover. Leave for 24 hours, stirring occasionally. 3. Strain the syrup through a muslin or old cotton tea towel (needs to be clean!) placed in a colander, ensuring that none of the bits get through. Decant into sterilised bottles and seal. 4. Keep in the fridge for 6 weeks. Tips Citric acid is available from local chemists, brewing and winemaking shops.
