🛒 Ingredients

Tap ingredients to tick them off as you shop or cook ✔️

• 6 tbsp rose syrup
• 250ml evaporated milk
• 400ml cold water
• ice
• 1 tsp basil seeds, soaked, optional

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Stir the rose syrup into the cold water first, until it is evenly pink.
2. Pour the evaporated milk in last and give it one slow stir. Add the milk first and you get streaks that never quite come together.
3. Taste before you ice it — over ice everything reads less sweet than it is.
4. Add the soaked basil seeds if you want the version with texture.
5. Pour over a full glass of ice.
6. The colour is the point. It is the drink of every Malaysian wedding marquee and open house, and it is meant to be aggressively pink.
