Ingredients:

• 2 liters whole milk
• 4 tablespoons vinegar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Syrup:

• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 2 tablespoons rose water
• 1 cup sugar
• Pinch of salt

Cooking Instructions:

In a large sauce pan, heat milk; bring to a boil. Add vinegar and give a gentle swirl. The milk solids will have formed. Separate solids from liquid by straining through a colander lined with a cheese cloth. Allow to drain for a few hours. Transfer the milk solids into a mixing bowl and combine with sugar, ground cardamom and melted butter. Make 1/2-in balls from the mixture. Reserve the milk balls in a non-reactive pan.

In a sauce pan pour water; add cardamom, rose water, sugar and salt. Allow to simmer slowly, constantly stirring, until the sugar mixture has thickened into a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat; allow to cool. Finally, pour the syrup over the milk balls in the pan. Chill in the refrigerator. To serve, put a few cubes in a serving bowl, topped with rose water syrup.
