Inspired by the popular rose flavours of the Middle East, this rose syrup over sweet fruit is a wonderful way to end an already fabulous dinner party. Made ahead of time, this Black Fruit Salad is easy, fuss free and ever so stunning when served.
Infuse 2 black tea bags in 1 cup of boiling water.
Put the tea in a small saucepan and add 1 tbsp edible rose petals.
Bring a boil and slowly add the sugar. Stir as you go to dissolve the sugar.
Reduce the heat and let it boil for 15 minutes.
Let it cool when finished.
Assembly
In a medium sized mixing bowl, add all the fruit and 1 tsp of edible rose petals.
Gently mix through.
Place the fruit salad on a nice serving platter
Drizzle 2 tbsp of tea rose syrup over the fruit salad.
Place the rest of the tea rose syrup in a jug or bowl and serve on the side.
Notes
If you can’t find black finger grapes, just use more of the other fruit.
If you have rose water in your pantry, you can add 1 tsp or more into the syrup.
Any plain black tea will work for this recipe. If you don’t like tea bags, you can infuse tea leaves in the water first before starting the syrup process.
