Tips:
- You can substitute any other food essence or sherbet syrup for flavor and color. I sometimes use the Roohafsa syrup by "Hamdard" for a rose essence and red color! Just use you imagination to use real fruits, color and essence to make your kids eat the fresh good things of nature!
- For weight watchers and diabetics, you may use Splenda or brown sugar. It still tastes great!
