HH From Donuts to Delirium: My Life as a Housewife posted a delicious Moroccan Style Watermelon & Rose Water Desert this week. This reminds me of my Aunt Millie's Rose Tea. She serves her tea on both warm and cold days. She truly believes that her special Rose Tea has medicinal benefits.

Aunt Millie makes such a fuss preparing her Rose Tea when in fact it is a very simple process. Here is what you need to do, prepare a simple syrup which is combining 1 cup of sugar to 2 cups of water in a saucepan, bring to boil, stir until sugar has dissolved. At this point add 4 tablespoons of rose water stir and cover the saucepan and allow it to stand for 15 minutes. Now make a pot of white tea, add the simply syrup blend to the pot to achieve the desired sweetness and serve. Simple!!

Aunt Millie serves her tea in lovely cut crystal glass, over a tiny amount of ice and a handful of rose buds and petals.
