Rosemilk - milk flavored with rose syrup

Hot weather calls for a coolant rosemilk at home. Rosemilk is one of the traditional drink prepared in summer. It is prepared with rose syrup. Roses which are commonly fragrant are simmered with sugar syrup and strained thereafter leaving a fragrant smell in the syrup. It is very easy to prepare and it is always a favorite to kids.

How to prepare:

1. In a saucepan, add 1 liter milk(preferably whole milk) and bring it to a boil. Cool down to room temperature, takes about 2 hrs. Strain to remove malai that is formed on the top of milk.

2. As I use raw cane sugar, i powdered it in mixie so that it easily dissolves into milk. Add it to the milk and mix well until combined.

3. Add rose syrup ( I like roof afza ) and whisk until well combined.

4.  Add a little bit of rose essence(optional). Keep it in fridge for about 2 hrs or in freezer for an hour for a quick chill. Use a hand blender or coffee whisk to make it frothy. Serve chilled.
