Yes, you can mix rose water with milk.
Rose water and milk are frequently combined to create a refreshing and flavorful drink, often called Rose Milk. The rose water infuses the milk with a delicate floral aroma and taste. While rose petals are not mandatory, rose syrup (made from rose water and sugar) is often added to enhance the sweetness and rose flavor.
Here's why mixing rose water with milk works well:
- Flavor Compatibility: The subtle floral notes of rose water complement the creamy texture and mild flavor of milk.
- Traditional Use: Rose milk is a popular beverage in many cultures and is often enjoyed for its refreshing and calming properties.
- Versatility: You can adjust the amount of rose water to suit your taste preferences, creating a drink that is either subtly flavored or strongly aromatic.
Here's a basic recipe for rose milk:
- Combine milk (dairy or non-dairy) with rose syrup (made from rose water and sugar) to taste.
- Stir well until the syrup is fully dissolved.
- Adjust the quantity of rose syrup according to your preference.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
