Rose syrup is a delicious way to sweeten drinks. It’s too good to throw out, so make sure to use up any leftovers in iced tea, ice slushies, iced coffee and other cold drinks. When baking, it makes a delightful syrup cake or topping on pancakes. Rose syrup is a popular ingredient in India and the Middle East. It’s sometimes consumed like a cordial. In Lebanon, it is used to flavor syrupy sweets such as malhabia (milk pudding) or atayef (filled pancakes). Rose water is often combined with orange blossom water for a vibrant floral taste.
