I was remembering Morning Glory's post in the "What is it" thread that was a shot jigger...between small metal ramekins and small saucepans, they kinda look the same when we don't know how big/small they are.
I figured it was a saucepan and it looks like oil and not water, though I could be wrong. Oh, duh. Yeah you just said syrup. Ding ding ding!

It looked like oil to me too. But it's syrup. Looking good.
Indeed I remember you planned a dessert, that would not be too sweet...or maybe two desserts...
Rose water will be used for either as well?
Sounds intriguing.
Gulab jamun was among the many incredible recipes I read through...who knows...we shall see.
Traditionally, gulab jamun is made with sugar syrup infused with cardamom and rosewater. However, adding saffron just might make it spectacular!

Oh is it? Then it must have been me, in my head, thinking, let's try it with saffron...now I am even more curious!
There are over a dozen recipes that I wanted to (tweak &) try...
As a former sweet tooth, desserts catch my eye easily

Look at you. In less than a week you went from "never used it" to saffron guru!
My latest one:
Recipe - Saffron Leisure
This is fun and easy - it’s the first time I’ve ever made a cocktail with whiskey and wine (and saffron, of course).
As you can tell by the color, this is a pleasant summertime, hot-temps refresher. I’d expected this to have a little weight to it, to the taste of it, but the fruit juices lightened this up considerably, so it doesn’t really go down like you’d expect a whiskey cocktail to go down.
My intention was to take a pic with the star anise garnish, then pitch that, because I don’t like the way star anise looks (too spider-like for me, and it gives me the heebie-jeebies), but don’t do that - that little starfishy thing adds quite a bit to the overall tasting experience, because that licorice scent goes right up the nose and really enhances the taste.
…and that name is just too much. I love it!
