Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 - 3 teaspoons food-grade rose water adjust to taste
  • 1 tiny drop of red food coloring optional

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully disoloves. Remove from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  • Start with 2 teaspoons and add more to taste, depending on your preference.
  • Add a tiny drop of red food coloring and stir until the color is evenly distributed
  • Transfer it to a sterilized, airtight jar or bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Rose water strength varies by brand. Start with less and add more gradually. 
  • Make sure your rose water is food-grade (sometimes labeled "culinary"). Rose water sold for skincare is not suitable for drinking.
  • Let the syrup cool completely before adding the rose water. Adding it to hot syrup can alter the flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • The food coloring is optional. Without it, the syrup will be clear.
