Organic Rose Milk

My post for today solely dedicating to beat the summer heat. Organic rose milk as it sounds help to soothe heat and keep the body cool. The rose enhance flavorful drink prepared by using organic rose petals which is the special and main ingredient in this beverage. You can use non-organic roses as well but before that make sure to give them a good wash.

I made my own rose syrup and trust me making them at home is as simple as ABC and the end result will surprise you. Store the remaining rose syrup in the refrigerator and use as and when needed. Sometimes i just add them into my fruit juice,cordial or milkshake. One syrup for almost anything and everything. The floral flavor and aroma is simply irresistible in this drink. I used rose essence and rose water to enhance the flavor. Indeed, this organic rose milk is my summer saviour.

Ingredients

1 cup full cream milk,chilled
1/2 cup organic pink rose petals
3/4 cup granulated white sugar
2 cups water
1 tsp rose water
Few drops rose essence
Few drops red food colouring

Methods

Wash rose petals and soak them in 2 cups of water overnight.

Transfer the soaked rose petals together with the soaking water into a pan. Add food colouring and rose water. Simmer on a medium-low heat for 4-6 minutes.

Add sugar and stir until dissolved. Switch flame to high and bring it to boil. Reduce flame to low and simmer for about 13-15 minutes until the syrup thickens. Remove from heat.

Cool completely and using a strainer, strain the sugar syrup. Discard the remaining rose petals.

Boil milk in a pan and add rose essence. Remove from heat and cool completely.

Chill the milk in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.

Pour the chilled milk into a serving glass and add 2 tbsp (or as needed) of the prepared rose syrup. Stir well.

Ready to gulp.

• You can replace organic rose petals with ordinary roses. Make sure to wash them well before soaking overnight.

• Store the left over rose syrup in a bottle and place in the refrigerator. The rose syrup could last as long as 2 weeks.
