What a wonderful drink! It's sweet and I love everything in it. I simply mixed everything without heating it first as I was using sugar substitute and didn't want to risk any after taste from the heat. Neither did I have red food coloring and used juice instead of lime slices. I'll be making this again as it's so nice to look at with all those mint leaves and probably much more if it's red next time. Thanks for sharing! Tagged for Aus/NZ Make My Recipe #5.

I didn't have the pretty red rosewater and I only had blue, yellow and green food coloring so mine was not as pretty as chef flowers.... but it was really good! I have had rosewater in drinks before where the rosewater was so overpowering it was like drinking perfume.... not this recipe! It was subdued and very nice. Thanks Jewelies! ZWT3
