Hi,
I am making some syrup as I write this.
I have had it infused in vanilla pudding in Indian Restaraunts. The other night was in an Israeli Rest. and they had made vanilla pudding and poured the rose syrup over top with pistachio pieces sprinkled as a garni.
Amazing stuff!
I also like to make a Rose Iced Tea with it as well. Just add as much of the syrup to water that you like to taste over a tall glass of ice.
Beautiful if served with a few fresh rose petals in it for a girls lunch. Especially if served from a beautiful clear pitcher into tall skinny glasses.
Wonderful earthly delights!
