Rosy-Lemon Juice Recipe.

Rose water may be one of my favourite smells and tastes ever. It is sooo good (and so Summery!). I recently stumbled across a few bottles in a health food store, had a load of ideas on what I could do with it, then subsequently completely forgot about which store it was! Doh. I found them again though, don't worry. I decided to make a fancy drink to share with you guys.

Rose & Lemon water is very easy, refreshing and a little different. Perfect for day dreaming about beaches and picnic in parks. Here is how to make your very own!

You'll need:
   - 7 lemons for juicing and 1 for slicing
   - 1 cup of sugar
   - Rose Water (I used 'Essence of')
   - Water
   - Ice

1. First, juice your lemons into a jug. Watch for pips! I used a sieve to get rid of any nasty bits, pulp is fine though!

2. Stir in your sugar and stir thoroughly until dissolved. Then add in your water; You'll want to have the ratios at about 1 parts lemon to 3 parts water.

3. Time for the rose water. Now, this part will completely depend on the kind of rose water you have, or how much juice you've got. Add a little at a time and taste. As mentioned about I used Rose Water Essense, and this is kind of weak. I used 5tbls for my jug.

4. Stir one last time, add your ice and lemon slices and now its ready to serve!
