Rose milk is a common flavourful summer drink. In order to beat the heat, children very happily slurp up this drink without any fuss. This drink is very easy to prepare and is effective in keeping the heat at bay. Rose milk drink revives memories of yesteryears when my mother would prepare bottles of  rose syrup. Then every evening, much to our delight, we would impatiently wait for a glass of chilled rose milk. Nowadays various brands of rose syrup are easily available. To further hike the grandeur of this drink, Tukmaria seeds also known as Sabja seeds or Tulsi seeds,  as well as chopped nuts can be added. Tukmaria seeds are one of the best body coolants, known to reduce body heat.
