That bit of apricot really rounds this out. Tasty right down to the last of the glass which was quite warm.

Delicious. I found the Rose Water readily at a local Persian grocery. Giffards for the syrup. Wonder how long I can keep it in the fridge?

The syrup could be good for a couple of months if kept in the fridge.
