NOTES:
- This recipe makes a dark Magenta drink. I just love the distinct taste of this root vegetable, so I added some extra beet juice to it. But you can simply adjust the amount of beet juice according to your taste. And you will get a sweet magenta drink, which will be dark or light depending upon the amount of added Beet juice.
- You can also make it a bit sparkly by adding some soda water to it. And your alluring and sparkly pretty drink is ready.
- you can also use honey instead of sugar syrup
