I always wanted to try homemade rose syrup with roses but I am sure its a tedious task so took this short cut method of making the syrup.I saw this recipe and got tempted so made it the next day itself.But sure someday will make the rose syrup with roses and post it here….hopefully that someday should come sooner 😉 I shared it in Instagram few weeks back.
Right form the childhood days, I was always fascinated seeing the way rose milk was served in Sree Annapoorna, A tall glass with a layer of syrup at the bottom then milk as the second layer and it gets mixed only when stirred…Cool right?! I wanted to recreate the same and yayy achieved it too 🙂
This syrup can be stored and refrigerated.It comes handy for making rose milk,rose lassi or just drizzle over any desserts or icecreams.

Recipe Category: Beverage | Recipe Cuisine: Indian
Sugar – 1 cup
Water – 1/2 cup
Red Pink Food color – 1/4 tsp
Rose Essence – 1/4 tsp
For rose milk recipe:
Chilled Milk – 1/2 cup
Sugar – 2 tsp
Method:
- Take sugar in a pan, add water to it.Stir for a minute.
- Heat it up and let the syrup boil till it becomes almost half.Get ready with your food color.
- When you see the syrup slightly thick, add the food color.Let it boil for few more mins.
- When the conistency is close to honey(little runny) switch off and cool down.After cooling, add rose essence.Store.When you want to make rose milk add 2 tsp of syrup in a serving glass.
- Then add icecubes, now pour chilled milk.
Stir and serve chilled!
I loved the way the syrup was standing still at the bottom…perfectly the way I wanted yayy for that!!
My Notes:
- Icecubes is optional, but I love it.
- When icecubes are added the drink starts to become watery so serve immediately.
- The syrup should be thick.But no need to check for any sugar consistencies.
- It keeps well for atleast 2-3months.Will check mine and update here.
Can we add jaggery instead of sugar? Definitely there will be a slight change in colour. Apart from that, will there be any change in taste?
I am not really sure but taste difference will be there
