Rose Lemonade
عصير الليمون مع الورد
Lemonade is the perfect refreshing summer drink. A simple lemonade is always a go-to for me, but I love to infuse lemonade with different flavors.
My favorite lemonade is a rose infused lemonade. It is very important to use roses that are from your garden and that have not been sprayed.
Any color rose works, and the only difference will be the color of the lemon juice at the end. Yellow, pink or red roses will result in a wonderful flavor.
It's very important to pick your roses, separate the petals and wash really well to get rid of any bugs. Next, soak the rose petals in the lemon juice for a minimum of 4 hours and up to 24 hours. The longer you soak the petals, the stronger the rose flavor.
This recipe will definitely become a favorite. Sahtain!
