Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup red syrup rose syrup or grenadine
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 cup cold water
  • Ice cubes
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • Optional: basil seeds or chia seeds

Instructions
 

Prepare the Glasses

  • Place ice cubes in tall glasses. Fill each glass halfway. Keep them ready for the drink.

Mix the Syrup

  • Combine red syrup and cold water in a jug. Stir gently until the syrup dissolves evenly.

Add the Milk

  • Pour cold milk into the syrup mixture. Stir lightly so the drink stays creamy and smooth.

Add Lemon Slices

  • Place lemon slices into each glass. They add a fresh aroma and bright flavor.

Pour the Drink

  • Carefully pour the Rusa mixture over the ice. Make sure the color looks bright and even.

Add Optional Seeds

  • Add basil or chia seeds if you want extra texture. They soak slightly and become soft.

Stir and Serve

  • Give the drink one last gentle stir. Serve immediately while cold and refreshing.

Notes

  • Use fresh cold milk for the best creamy texture.
  • Add more syrup for a sweeter drink.
  • Use evaporated milk for a richer and thicker taste.
  • Add a few drops of rose water for a stronger aroma.
  • Add crushed ice to make the drink extra cold and slushy.
  • Replace milk with almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Add mint leaves for extra freshness and a lovely smell.
