When we were kids, summer is exams,festivals then holidays.We kids obviously love the holidays after exams and love family gatherings happen during festival times.My grand ma used to make rose milk Popsicle and cold cold rose milk on a hot summer day, woof!!!  those are the days that would never come back.
    One thing for sure is rose milk need not be much rich just a refresher/thirst quencher for me.So i made old and authentic style rose milk that my grand ma make(just to keep those memories).I added some badam paste for its health benefits.You can add badam powder too.If you have pasteurised milk  in fridge then you can just mix the essence,sugar and drink immediately.

How to make Rose Milk:

• Soak badam in hot water for an hour.
• Peel the skin and grind it to smooth paste(as smooth as possible.I couldn't do it smooth, because the quantity is too small).
• Boil the milk and filter the skin that forms on the top( this may spoil the drink)
• If you have pasteurised milk then no need of boiling(but i do boil it).
• For additional taste boil the milk along with sugar.
• Add 4-5 drops of rose essence and prepared badam paste to boiled,cooled milk.
• Keep it in fridge for 1-2 hours.
• Add ice cubes when you opt for more chillness.

Note:

• Add 1-2 scoops of vanilla ice creams,if you wish the rose milk to be more rich.
• You can also prepare rose essence by simmering the rose petals in water.
• If your kids like nuts top it with some chopped nuts while serving.
• Indian grocery stores in US carry Rose syrup/essence.
