Fresh-Squeezed Strawberry Lemonade with Rosewater and Edible Flowers

0 · Jun 25, 2020 · Stephanie · Leave a Comment

If you’re hosting friends this summer, there’s no better way to celebrate the season than with a bright punch filled with edible flowers, especially one that’s flavored with rosewater. We made this strawberry lemonade with rosewater at the peak of strawberry season, which just so happened to coincide with the bloom of these lovely flowers at one of our favorite local farms.

While you don’t have to actually eat the flowers — we certainly haven’t figured out a polite way to snack on a marigold — be sure to use only organic, edible flowers, even if they’ll only be your garnish. We used organic fresh marigolds, zinnia, cosmos, and stock flowers to add a summery touch our drinks.

Your local grocer or flower farmer should be able to point you in the right direction, but you can also buy edible flower mixes where you typically find herbs in your natural grocer’s produce section.

As for the punch itself, we skipped the sugar found in most lemonades. The punch is sweetened using a simple syrup made with local honey, which you can always store in a jar and use for teas, coffee, and of course, cocktails. We used a wildflower honey that beautifully complemented the floral notes of rosewater. While we like our lemonade tart, you can certainly adjust the amount of simple syrup to suit your taste.

The result is a freshly-squeezed lemonade with rosewater and strawberries that is as refreshing as it is beautiful. And the floating flowers are sure to wow your guests!

However, if you think you’ll be pressed for time on the actual day of your party, you can squeeze the lemons and puree the strawberries the night before, storing each in individual containers in the fridge overnight. Then you can just whip the whole punch together before guests arrive, it only takes moments.
