METHOD

1. In a pan, heat water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add sugar.

2. Once the sugar has dissolved, add rosewater and stir slowly.

3. Cool the mix and then freeze it for eight to ten hours. Stir the mix every one hour, to prevent it from being frozen.

4. Boil the starch noodles in water for eight to ten minutes, strain and let it cool in the refrigerator until cold.

5. Remove the sugar and rose water semi-frozen mix, more like a granita (you can even put it in a blender quickly), from the freezer and add the starch noodles into it.

6. Drizzle with lemon juice, saffron and rosewater. Serve and enjoy!
