Rose Popsicles

Rose is favorite in any form be it flower, color or flavor. And in my opinion, the smell of rose in any dish makes it so royal. The rose flavor is so intense by itself that you won't need anything else to enhance the  dish.
 As spring has spread its warmth around, I thought of making these rose popsicles to kick start all summer coolers. Is this worth a try? No, its double or triple worth the try and you will be happy that you didn't miss making it!



INGREDIENTS :

Milk - 2 cups
Heavy Cream - 1/2 cup
Sugar - 4 tblsp
Rose Water - 2 tblsp
Rose Color - few drops



METHOD :

      Bring the milk to a boil and add the sugar. Reduce the heat and let the sugar dissolve. Now add the cream and give a stir and wait until small air bubbles start appearing on the sides of the pan. Put off the fire and remove the pan aside and let it cool for sometime. When the milk is warm enough to touch add the rose water and rose color and mix thoroughly. Transfer to Popsicle moulds and freeze them overnight or until set.

P.S :
       You can use the rose essence we get in indian grocers or the rose drink powder in middle eastern grocers instead of rose water and the color.
        Make sure this is bit on the sweeter side because otherwise the popsicles might not be as sweet as you want them when frozen.
         If you don't prefer cream then make these using just 2 cups of half and half.
