you will need
fresh roses
water
heat safe bowl
large pan with lid
ice cubes
pour about four inches of water in a large pan and put in rose petals (if they are shop bought then wash them first) fresh ones are best. turn the heat on the hob to medium to high and place the empty bowl inside then turn the lid of the pan upside down and place on the pan, (if there is a steam hole in the lid cover it so the steam doesn't escape. fill the lid with ice cubes and leave it to simmer, the steam will rise up and when it hits the cold lid the condensation will drip into the bowl. when the ice has melted remove the lid carefully and empty in to the sink and fill it with ice again. continue this each time its melted after 2 hours the bowl should have enough rose distilled water to fill a bottle. this is pure rose water and will be clear so if you want to colour it pink you can add a few drops of juice from some beets.

Lovely tutorial as always!!! Rosewater reminds me of my grandmother, we always made it together in the summertime, great memory :-) thank you so much for sharing and have a beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is a cool recipe. I went to the parfumerie Fragonard int he south of France and they showed how you need MOUNTAINS of rose petals.... I actually bought a flask of Rose water last time I was in France. But when it finishes, I shall try your method. I grow tons of roses... Thanks so much.
