Steps:

- Boil without stirring, for 10 minutes, skimming when necessary.
- Add colouring to syrup to achieve a deep pink - it will be lighter when diluted later.
- Add rose water and boil 3 minutes longer. Remove from heat, cool, bottle and seal.
- To serve, put 2-3 tbs syrup or to taste, in a glass (I use more but maybe my glasses are big) then fill with iced water.

Tips:
- Use ripe grapes: The riper the grapes, the sweeter the jallab will be.
- Choose a good quality of rose water: Rose water is a key ingredient in jallab, so make sure to use a good quality brand.
- Don't skip the straining step: Straining the jallab removes any impurities and gives it a smooth texture.
- Chill the jallab before serving: Chilled jallab is more refreshing and flavorful.
- Garnish with nuts and pomegranate seeds: Nuts and pomegranate seeds add a nice crunch and flavor to jallab.
