Homemade vs store-bought sugar syrup

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

I always try, I repeat I 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 its plant 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 with the store-bought rose syrup. A bottle of ready-made rose syrup can last for upto 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.

The following is the rose syrup recipe for those who want to make at home. And others may skip to the next paragraph.

  • Bring 1 cup of water to boil, add 2 cups of loosely packed dried rose petals.
  • Boil for 1 minute and switch off the stove.
  • Cover it with a lid and set aside for 6 hours. This resting time allows the water to infuse with the essence of rose.
  • Strain the liquid.
  • Make a simple sugar syrup by adding 1 cup of rose water to 1 cup of sugar.
  • Boil until sugar dissolves. No need to check for the string consistency.
  • Allow it to cool.
  • And mix this rose milk syrup with milk whenever needed. And you pat yourself for making one of the best homemade cool drinks.
Rose milk tastes extremely good with any type of milk. We can use the same milk that we daily use, like whole milk, almond milk, low fat milk, coconut milk.

How to make Rose milk at home

Milk. Literally, this rose milk tastes extremely good with any type of milk. So, we can use the same milk which we regularly use in the kitchen. This option gives us more comfort. Moreover, we need not switch to another high-fat milk which we are not using in normal days.

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. I guess this is not a factor for people like me who want to lead a healthy lifestyle.

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

If you want this rose syrup milkshake recipe vegan, use coconut milk, almond milk or soy milk. And there are nearly 100% chances that you simply love it.

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

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

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

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