Materials

  • 250 g fresh plant material
  • 750 ml filtered or spring water (enough to cover the plant material)

Method

  1. Chop the rose petals.
  2. Place in the pot and cover with the filtered water (do not overfill so the plant is flooded).
  3. Place the trivet on top of the plant material and water like a platform (this is to raise the collection bowl so it is collecting steam, not boiling water).
  4. Place the collection bowl on top of the trivet.
  5. Place the lid on the pot upside down, so the steam runs down the inside of the lid and into the bowl.
  6. Place ice into the domed lid.
  7. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Be careful to avoid vigorous boiling as it will reduce the aroma of the water.
  8. Once the water has been evaporated, carefully remove the glass bowl and retain the water inside it— this is the aromatic water.
  9. Bottle in sterile bottles, label and keep in the fridge.
