Homemade vs. store-bought sugar syrup

Homemade rose syrup is exceptional in flavor and taste. But making them at home accompanied with difficulties as well. We need a huge bunch of roses to make a couple of glasses of rose milk. Additionally, the syrup is less colored and will need artificial color to enhance.

I always try and TRY to prepare the syrup at home when roses are in season. But mostly, I fail because I do not want to remove the roses from their plants when they are fresh. Sadly, I cannot gather them when dried, as the strong wind blows them away.

Since this rose milk recipe is ceremonial and not an everyday drink, I made it with store-bought rose syrup. A bottle of ready-made rose syrup can last for up to a year.

There are many rose milk brands available in the market. But always check for the ingredients that they use approved and permitted food color.

Milk. This rose milk tastes extremely good with any milk. So, we can use the same milk we regularly use in the kitchen. This option gives us more comfort. Moreover, we need not switch to another high-fat dairy we do not use regularly.

Just wanted to let you know that whole milk keeps the drink more creamy and delicious. But using the other low-fat milk also tastes equally good but only varies in the consistency. This is not a factor for people like me who want to lead a healthy lifestyle.

I usually use 2% low-fat milk and used the same in this recipe.

If you want this rose syrup milkshake recipe vegan, use coconut milk, almond milk, or soy milk. And there is nearly a 100% chance that you will love it.

Rose syrup. You may use the store-bought rose syrup, or you can make it at home. If you have a rose garden, it is time to use them. You can leave the roses to dry in the plant and make this syrup later. You can enjoy seeing the beautiful flowers and still use them to prepare the syrup.

Holy basil seeds. This is called 'sabja seeds' and 'Tulsi seeds' in India. These tiny black seeds are called 'Tukmaria seeds' in Hindi and 'Sabja vidhai' in Tamil. You can get them from online stores or Indian stores. These tiny little seeds resemble sesame seeds in shape and chia seeds in size.

This is often confused with onion seeds/'kalonji.' Onion seeds have a pungent flavor and holy basil seeds have a neutral taste.

The original size is tiny but triples up when soaked in water. It has a tremendous biting texture and is dazzling to get these in every sip.
