Notes
- You can either add sugar or palm candy when making the rose syrup. Coconut sugar or any other sweeteners of your choice will work as well and as always adjust it according to your taste.
- Based on availability, you can use either rosewater or essence. Adjust the amount as per your preference.
- I did not add any ice cubes as my sparkling water was cold. But you can use ice cubes too. Cold soda tastes excellent, so always serve it cold/chilled.
- And instead of sparkling water, you can use club soda as well. Make sure to use plain ones or the unflavored ones.
