I first discovered paneer soda from an old indian uncle shop near my working place. That is the shop that i always get my copy of monthly magazines. Everytime i passed by his shop, few old uncles will be ordering "goli soda"...Yes! dat is how they order their paneer soda. With zero knowledge of what is goli soda is all about, i started to engage in a conversation with the shop owner. As the uncle knows me well he started to explain to me about this well known drink in India. In Malaysia i wonder how many of us really tastes or heard about it.
The combination of soda water with simple sugar syrup infused with rose essence made me craving for it. On the very same day i bought a can of soda water and rose essence and in no time my very own homemade paneer soda is ready to gulp. Refreshing summer drink
