Rose liqueur

In rainy days, wild rose petals are wet and take a long time to dry out. So I thought of another way to preserve them, macerating in vodka. 

Instead of using 37% vodka, I diluted with water to bring alcohol level down to around 20%. Still well enough for preservation, but with more water, the colour of petals come off easily. I am going to have a rosy red liqueur in 3 months time. 

I will flavour with some honey and may be with ginger juice too, will see when it is ready.
