Fun In The Kitchen! Let's Make Rose Water!
Gather fresh rose petals (free from pesticides and chemicals), and wash them in a bowl to remove any dirt or residue. I use 6-7 average sized roses.
Place cleaned Rose Petals in a pot and add just enough water to cover the petals.
Over medium heat bring the pot to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover
Let simmer for 30-40 minutes or until petals have lost their color and are pale pink. You should notice oils on the surface of the water.
Strain mixture into a jar, separating the petals from the water mixture.
YOU JUST MADE ROSE WATER!!
Discard rose petals and store Rose Water in an air tight jar in the refrigerator for up to 4 months or until it looks murky.
