Time 22m

Yield 10 glasses a guess, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups white sugar
1 cup water
1/2 lemon, juice strained
pink food coloring, few drops (I say optional)
1/3 cup rose water

Steps:

  • Put sugar and water into a pan and stir over medium heat until dissolved.
  • Bring to a boil and add lemon juice.
  • Boil without stirring, for 10 minutes, skimming when necessary.
  • Add colouring to syrup to achieve a deep pink - it will be lighter when diluted later.
  • Add rose water and boil 3 minutes longer. Remove from heat, cool, bottle and seal.
  • To serve, put 2-3 tbs syrup or to taste, in a glass (I use more but maybe my glasses are big) then fill with iced water.

A delightful and refreshing drink. The rose water adds a delicate floral flavor that pairs perfectly with the tartness of the lemon juice.

Absolutely stunning! The vibrant pink color of the drink is so inviting, and the taste is even better. It's the perfect balance of sweet and sour, with a hint of floral notes from the rose water.

This recipe is a delightful blend of floral and tangy flavors. The rose water adds a subtle sweetness and the lemon juice provides a refreshing tartness. I enjoyed it both chilled and at room temperature.
