Homemade Rose Water and Rose Oil Print E-mail

You can make rose (or any other herb) water and extracts at home.

 

Take a large pot, insert a clean brick or rock, fill with rose petals or

herbs or whatever around the brick. Cover with water and place

a small glass dish on top of the brick.

 

On top of the pot put a stainless bowl and fill with ice.

 

Simmer about three hours depending how many petals or herbs you have, replacing the ice as needed.

 

The bowl with the ice will condense the steam and drip down into the glass bowl.

 

The water in the glass bowl is your rose water or whatever herb, on top will be a layer of oil. This is the essential oil.

 

You can separate these and use the water in cooking and the essential oil in potpourri, lotions, soaps or whatever.

Herbal Lore

The name "salvia"comes from the Latin root word for salvation. Sage earned this name because it was considered so powerful a remedy that if could save people from illness and even death. The Romans called sage, "herba sacra" or sacred herb.

Wise Tips

Choose only the best leaves and flowers for drying, and discard any that are going brown, or have been damaged by insects. Snip off the leaves and flowers carefully with scissors to avoid damaging the plant. Gather your herbs on a day without rain so the leaves and flowers dry quickly and are less likely to go mouldy.
