Sauce, syrups, dips can be home made instead of buying from stores. Homemade products are always chemical free, also free from food colors. I had a long pending recipe to try for almost a year, though it is one of my childhood favorite i never got a chance to make this recipe until today. I was so damn urging myself to make this recipe right away and make " rose milk " using this syrup. Rose milk is one such drink which i cant deny anytime, even in the middle of the night i can drink.
