Notes

Notes:
If you are using lemons (not the Indian variety) then you can use 1 large one or adjust to taste. This recipe will require some tasting and building up on, so please feel free to add additional ingredients such as crushed mint leaves or other aromatics such as a few drops of rose essence instead of saffron if you wish. Do ensure that you don't add too many aromatics as the flavour & aroma will be too strong
