Ingredients

The following ingredients have 750 Servings
  • 250 ml water
  • 500 g white sugar
  • 3 Tbsp of rose water
  • tiny amount of concentrated red food colouring

Instruction

  • Add the sugar and water into a saucepan on medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, stirring a couple of times.
  • Reduce the heat to very low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Turn the heat off, take off the hot hob and stir in the red food colour. How concentrated you want it to be, is up to you.
  • Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then stir in the rose water.
  • Pour into a sterilised bottle or jar and can be stored at room temperature for about a month although I prefer to keep mine in the fridge and it has gone for as long as 2 months.
  • To serve, dilute like a cordial, at a ratio of 1 part syrup to 4 parts water or 1:3, depending on how sweet you like your drinks.
