🌿 Ingredient Notes for Recipe
Milk – I like to use whole milk (full-fat milk) to make this drink as it makes it rich and creamy. You can choose to use low-fat or skim milk, too. We can also use plant-based milk like coconut, cashew, or almond milk for the vegan version.
Sugar – I use white Powdered sugar to sweeten the drink. You can replace sugar with honey or maple syrup.
Adjust the sugar as per your taste.
Rose Syrup – You can use any brand.
Watermelon Juice –You will need cubed watermelon. Try to use seedless watermelon. If your watermelon has seeds, then remove them all.
Others – You will also need chia seeds and ice cubes.
