Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 6 medium Lemons
- 2 tablespoons Edible rose water
- 1 tablespoon Cranberry juice (optional, for color)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 3 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove the syrup from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Juice the lemons to yield approximately 1 cup of fresh lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove seeds and pulp, if desired.
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, cooled sugar syrup, and the remaining 3 cups of water. Stir until well mixed.
Add the edible rose water and stir thoroughly. If using cranberry juice, stir it in now to achieve the signature blushing pink hue.
Fill the pitcher with 2 cups of ice cubes to chill the lemonade.
Taste the lemonade and adjust sweetness or rose water to your preference, adding small amounts as needed.
Serve the lemonade in glasses, garnished with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices for an elegant touch, if desired.
Enjoy your Blushing Rose Lemonade immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve!
