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.
