Guest guest Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 ROSE WATERThere are many different methods to making rose water. I've chosen three for today that are easy. By the way, vodka acts as a preservative in the recipes. Rosewater Method I You'll need:2 cup distilled water1/4 cup 80 proof vodka1/2 cup fresh rose petals Place the rose petals in a large glass jar with a lid. Add the vodka and the water. Place the jar in a sunny window for 24 hours or so. Strain and keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Rose Water Method II You'll need:1 cup fresh rose petals1 1/2 cups distilled water1/2 cup 80 proof vodka (optional) Place the rose petals in a pan with the water and simmer for10 minutes. Strain. If you are using this within a day or two, then refrigerate till needed. If it will be longer then add the alcohol after the mixture is strained and cooled. You still should use it within a week or two, especially is using in edible recipes. Rose Water Method III You'll need:1 1/2 cups fresh rose petals1 cup cold water1 tablespoon 80 proof vodka Place the rose petals in a glass jar and pour over the water. Seal tightly and allow it to set for 2-3 days, shaking at least once per day when you think of it. Strain, add the vodka and pour into a clean jar.
