Easy Rose Syrup with Rose Water
Make rose syrup at home easily without any fancy ingredients. Made with just rose water, sugar, and lemon, it’s perfect for falooda, mocktails, and refreshing summer drinks.
Ingredients
- 2 cups white sugar
- ¾ cup water
- ½ cup rose water
- 2 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, add rose water, sugar, and water. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely.
- As soon as you see the first bubbles, remove the pan from the heat. Check the consistency of the syrup. It should be light and not too thick.
- Stir in lemon juice and a few drops of red food coloring and mix until you get the shade you prefer.
- Let the syrup cool completely before transferring it into a sterilized bottle.
Notes
-
- To prevent crystallization of the sugar at the bottom of the bottle, avoid boiling your syrup too much until thick. Keep an eye on your pot and take it off the heat as soon as the first bubbles start to form.
- Store rose syrup at room temperature or in the fridge and it’ll stay fresh for weeks.
- If your syrup thickens over time, microwave it for a few seconds to loosen it up!
- To keep your syrup fresh for longer, rinse the bottles and place them in a preheated oven for 5 minutes before filling them.
