My favourite. I drink it with ice-cold milk, like the Greek driandafilou, but it is more usually diluted with water in Iran.

Ingredients

  • 500 g sugar
  • 300 ml water
  • 50 ml

Method

Boil the sugar and water together. When the sugar has dissolved, add the lemon, colouring and rose-water and leave on the heat for another 5–10 minutes. Set aside. When it is nearly cool, stir in the rose petals, bottle and chill. This syrup and the following recipe are great as ice-cream sauces.
