4 cups rose petals
2 cups water
2 tablespoons sugar
natural red food coloring (like from beets)

Turkish Delight: Traditional Turkish recipes for rose petal syrup call for the inclusion of poppy petals. If you’d like to try this, add about a cup of poppy petals to the mixture, and increase the amounts of water and sugar until you get the consistency and taste you desire.

Note from BL: Be aware the poppy petals "may" have a slight narcotic reaction and should not be given to children or adults unaware.
