Rose Syrup

This beverage is real good for your skin :)
[It makes around 1 1/2 cups]
A: 2 cups of water, 1 1/3 cups of sugar, 4 tablespoons red rose petals, a dash of lemon
B: 1/2 cup ginger, 1 1/2 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 1/3 stick vanilla beans, 1 lemon, some club soda

step 1- first you use the ingredients in group a. put the water in a saucepan and heat it. when it boils, put the petals in and take it off the heat. cover the pan and steam for 8 minutes.
step 2- take the petals and water from step 1 and drain out the water into another pan. add sugar and lemon juice and put it over heat. simmer over medium heat until the syrup becomes dense and you end up with one cup of liquid.
step 3- now we will use the ingredients in the B group. wash the ginger and peel outer skin. peel think slices and put it aside. for the vanilla beans, take a knife and remove the beans from the stick. in a small saucepan, put water, sugar, sliced ginger, and the vanilla beans and simmer for 20 minutes over medium heat. when the ginger becomes transparent (practically see through)and the water evaporates to about half of the original amount, it's done. add lemon juice. [ask an adult for help with this step if you need help! don't be a lone ranger on this step. it could be difficult some way or the other.]
step 4- mix the liquid from step 2 and 3 and the syru is complete. if you put it in a container and keep it in the refrigerator, it will last for about two weeks.
step 5- put ice in a glass and pour club soda in it, then add 3 tablespoons of syrup and stir.
