When you’re making the syrup, the syrup will initially be a muddy pinky brown color. Don’t stress! Once you add the lemon juice the color will brighten to a blush peachy pink color! I love how gorgeous this color is and the lemonade has just the right amount of rose and mango flavor. You can also use the syrup to make iced tea. Just use cool green tea to dilute the syrup instead of water!
