Bye Mary replied. Rose water done 4 different ways!

Rose water I

1 cup distilled water
1/8 cup perfumer's alcohol
1/4 cup fresh rose petals

Method:

Mix all ingredients together in a large glass jar with screw-on lid (like the kind you use to make sun tea) and place in the sun or in a sunny window for the day. Strain thoroughly. The alcohol \";self-preserves\"; this solution.

Rose Water II

A variation on an old-fashioned recipe

1/2 oz. powdered white sugar
2 drachmas of magnesia
12 drops of rose absolute
1 quart distilled water
2 oz. perfumer's alcohol

Method: Mix and strain through filter paper.

Rosewater III

16 oz. perfumer's alcohol
16 oz. distilled water
1/2 cup FRESH rose petals

Method:

Combine all in 1 quart Ball or Kerr jar. Shake. Allow to set in sunny window.
Strain fluid and replace rose petals daily for approx 14 days til you reach the desired scent level. Cut with up to 16 oz. distilled water or vegetable glycerin USP.

Rosewater IV **

2 cups boiling distilled water
1 cup rose petals

Method: Combine all in 1 quart Ball or Kerr jar or other heatproof vessel and allow to cool. Strain. Bottle and keep in fridge for up to 1 week.

**IMPORTANT NOTE! This recipe contains no preservatives and is unstable. Toss immediately if you suspect bacterial growth. Add 1/2 teaspoon
potassium sorbate to prevent mold, yeast and fungal growth.
