Ingredients
- 1 cup Water

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for 5 minutes, allowing the flowers to infuse their flavor into the syrup.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool for 10-15 minutes to enhance infusion.
Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean glass jar or bottle, discarding the flowers.
