Perfect for a 'tea' party.

Easy, but a nice twist of lemonade. I cook with rose water now and then, so I really enjoy the flavor. Nice twist of lemonade. I made it for a LEMON PARTY I had tonight and we added a little enhancement ... to the lemonade, but it was still very good as is. Not a drop was left I can say that. Thx for a nice twist and easy recipe.

The description of this drink is right on the mark. It is so refreshing and delicious. I made some up after a particularly hot dog walk. I was instantlly refreshed. This brings lemonade to a whole new level!

This is delicious! I've tried it with limes and lemons. I think it's best with lemons, or at least avoid limes that don't juice easily (seem hard/tough) because they may be tart and will need more sugar.

A refeshing quenching drink. The rose water was very DELICATE. My guests were elusive for the rose aroma was subtle.
