🧾 Ingredients in This Recipe
Rose simple syrup – A simple mix of rose water, sugar, and water. I have steps on how to make rose simple syrup here. As a substitute, use rose water and granulated sugar. Simple syrup dissolves much better into the lemonade than granulated sugar. You can even make your own homemade rose water.
Lemons – Get a bunch of good-sized fresh lemons. Some people like to use a lemonade powder mix, but it won’t be as fresh and tart as squeezed lemon juice, so this is my preference.
