Sparkling Rose With Bay Leaf Syrup Recipes

SPARKLING ROSE WITH BAY LEAF SYRUP

Steps:

• Bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, add bay leaves, and let stand for 20 minutes. Discard bay leaves.

PINK GRAPEFRUIT-WHITE CRANBERRY SPARKLING PUNCH

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring sugar, grapefruit zest, bay leaves, and 1/2 cup water to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. Strain, discarding solids, and refrigerate in an airtight container until cold, at least 1 hour and up to 1 week.
• In a punch bowl or large pitcher, stir together syrup, grapefruit juice, vodka, Cointreau, and cranberry juice. If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate up to 1 day.
• Add ice, top with prosecco and club soda, and garnish with bay leaves and kumquats. Serve immediately.

BAY LEAF CREAMS

Steps:

• To make the syrup, dissolve the sugar in a pan with 150ml water over a low heat, and bubble until it reduces by almost half. Put the bay leaves in a bowl (scrunch them in your hands first), then pour in the hot syrup and lime juice, cover and leave in a cool place for at least 4 hrs to infuse (if you have time, do this ahead and leave it for at least two days). Strain into a bottle. Will keep chilled for up to a week. If you want to keep it for longer, then bring the syrup back up to the boil before bottling it.
• Soak the gelatine leaves in a bowl of cold water and set aside. Put the cream, milk, sugar and bay leaves (again, scrunch them as you add them) in a pan and bring to the boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar, then take off the heat. Gently squeeze the excess water from the gelatine, then stir into the hot cream until completely dissolved. Leave to cool for 10 mins, then fish out the bay leaves. Pour into six to eight decorative glasses and leave to set in the fridge overnight. Pour the syrup over the creams just before serving.

SPARKLING ROSE COCKTAIL RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Chill 2 champagne flutes in the freezer for about an hour prior to serving.
• Make the strawberry simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the strawberries. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, muddling to break down the strawberries, until the syrup is bright red and the strawberries start to lose their color. Remove the pot from the heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
• Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the leftover solids. The syrup will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
• Make the cocktail: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the vodka, lemon juice, rosewater, and 1 ounce strawberry simple syrup. Close the shaker to seal and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
• Strain the cocktail into the chilled champagne flutes, dividing evenly. Top each glass with 2 ounces of sparkling wine, then fill almost to the brims with club soda. Top with rose dried petals and serve immediately.
• Enjoy!
