How to Make Bandung Rose Syrup With Milk

  1. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. (Optional) Gently whisk in 1 large egg white and shell. This helps clarify the syrup for a brighter pink color. If omitting, proceed to step 3.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens noticeably. It should coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Carefully strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl to remove any egg solids.
  5. Allow the syrup to cool completely.
  6. Stir in a few drops of red food coloring and 1-2 teaspoons of rose essence or extract. Taste and adjust the coloring and flavor to your preference.
  7. To make the Bandung, dilute 1 part cooled rose syrup with 5 parts cold water in a glass.
  8. Add 2 tablespoons of evaporated milk (adjust to taste).
  9. Fill the glass with crushed or cubed ice.
  10. Stir gently and enjoy your homemade Bandung!
