What a weekend! So much baking that I can hardly move today!!! Talk about suffering for your passion! However, it was all worthwhile as our afternoon teas and canape evenings were a great success! I will post a little more about them when I have a few photos from Kathy to show you. In the meantime, this is one of the recipes from our edible flower cookery demonstrations - a Rose Summer Punch. It looked so lovely with the petals floating on the top!
Summer Rose Punch
Makes 1 punch bowl - serves 15 - 20
1 bottle rose wine
1 bottle sparkling wine
1 bottle sparking mineral water
1 ladle of rose liquor (or substitute 1 ladle of vodka)
1 ladle of rose syrup
1 punnet of strawberries, sliced
rose petals (which have not been sprayed with any insecticides)
ice cubes (frozen with small flowers in would make this punch even more spectacular)
Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and float the rose petals on top. Serve in large tumblers with lots of ice for a refreshing summer cocktail!

Oh wow.... how pretty! Amazing actually!
That punch looks amazing Hannah! I really enjoyed reading and seeing your lovely strawberry Recipes in this month's Country Kitchen magazine!
great site Hannah, I've only just stumbled upon it. I cook with all the stuff I grow in our garden and I grow a wide selection all year round so its like having my own veggie box.
Lovely, as ever, Hannah. Can you give more details about the rose liqueur an the rose syrup, like a brand name, or even the name of the shop where you found them? We have a party coming up, and I'd like to serve this in the garden

I get all my flavoured syrups and liquors from www.drinkon.com - the rose liquor is by briottet and the rose syrup by monin. If you type rose into the search engine it will come up with them all. They have other more expensive rose liquors which I will definitely try at some point. If you are ordered, the very best thing they do it the violet liquor - also by briottet (just search violet). This is just heavenly with sparkling wine - we served it at our afternoon teas and it was very popular. I am not on commission honest!!!
Thanks Rita, Marie and Laura for your lovely comments too!

Thanks Hannah, just about to make an order ... I'll start with rose, although the violet sounds good, too
