Notes
Note - The color of the rose syrup will always depend on the quality of the rose petals. So the color of one batch of homemade rose syrup may look deeper or lighter from the other batch of rose syrup. As you can see the homemade syrup will not yield you the dark vibrant pink rose milk that you get when you use a ready to mix rose syrup which has artificial color.Homemade rose syrups are usually on the lighter set yet giving you a delicious bright pink color.
