Title: Arabian lemonade - 2011 calendar - recipe review
Post by: KarenH on March 13, 2011, 09:56:05 am: Thanks so much to those who PM'd me this recipe.

This is a really unusual but DELICIOUS drink. Adding the rosewater makes it really fragrant and beautiful, and the lemon, lime and mint give a real tang. I am not sure that little kids would go for it, because it is a bit different - but as an adult drink it is gorgeous on its own, or else would also be great with gin or maybe even midori added to it ;D

My only tweak would be to reduce the rosewater initially, and then add more if you want to. I only used 2/3 of a teaspoon, and it was quite strong enough. The 2-3 teaspoons recommended would be way over the top!

Score: 4/5

Thanks

Thanks for that thought, but I had one personally delivered by my consultant today, and I'm very impressed. Well worth the buy!
