During summer, it’s common especially in south India that restaurants serve fresh rose milk. I don’t prefer having it outside or getting it for my kid because of the chemicals/preservatives used in store-bought rose syrup. So making a rose milk syrup with store-bought rose syrup is completely useless when you are trying to make it healthy. We get paneer roses/edible roses in the flower market and if you are able to procure them, then it is a very easy and simple process.

Ingredients used for making Rose syrup

All you need to make this rose milk syrup is

  1. Fresh Rose petals (Paneer rose/edible rose) – it has a unique scent and flavour popularly known as paneer rose used for cosmetics, perfumes and in making gulkand. Roses have to be cleaned without stem, washed, air dried for few minutes to strain excess water and then used to make syrup.
  2. Sugar – Generally white sugar is used to make this syrup while some add honey to the extracted rose essence adn use it. Taste of the original rose milk comes from white sugar. I havent tried it out with country sugar/brown sugar though.
  3. Rose water – which is added just for the fresh aroma
  4. Rose essence/red food colour – Instead of adding red food colour, i have added rose essence.
    • alternatively, You can also add a piece of beetroot to the sugar syrup instead
  5. Lemon salt/citric acid – Though it is optional, I prefer adding it to increase the shelf life.
