It’s rose water season! Can you get your hands on some fragrant rose petals? If yes, then you can make some amazing rose water that you can use as perfume or the magic ingredient in nougat, baklava, Portugal cake, or any other European pre-vanilla-era recipe.
We collected our petals from roses in our local park where we simply collected some fallen petals.
The ancient Persians, Greeks, and Romans used rose water in their kitchens, for rituals, and in cosmetics. Here’s how to make rose water in six easy steps:
1. Separate the petals and remove green leaves, bugs, and the like.
2. Place the petals in a pan in with 1 inch of water.
