Homemade Moroccan Lemonade with Rosewater and Cardamom recipe

Homemade Moroccan Lemonade with Rosewater and Cardamom Recipe
This refreshing lemonade is infused with the fragrant flavors of rosewater and cardamom, perfect for a hot day.
Ingredients:
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
• 1/2 cup rosewater
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
• Pinch of salt
• Lemon slices and rose petals (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Make a simple syrup: In a saucepan, combine the sugar and 2 cups of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
2. Assemble the lemonade: In a large pitcher, combine the cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, rosewater, cardamom, and salt. Stir well to combine.
3. Chill and serve: Add ice to the pitcher and stir. Garnish with lemon slices and rose petals before serving.
Tips:
• For a sweeter lemonade, adjust the amount of lemon juice to your preference.
• You can substitute fresh cardamom pods for ground cardamom. Crush the pods slightly with the back of a spoon to release their flavor before adding them to the lemonade.
• If you don't have rosewater, you can omit it or add a splash of orange flower water instead.
• For a fizzy twist, add some club soda to the lemonade before serving.
Enjoy this delicious and refreshing homemade Moroccan lemonade!
