These are from Lebanon Gardens. Hard to say what is in the bottle then ..

And how could someone concentrate a Hydrosol .. I think its not possible to do that. But Rose Hydrosol is used STRAIGHT in many dishes and desserts here in Turkey .. the List Mom uses it in dishes herself. People drink it as a matter of routine .. they also mix it with tea .. pour it into eyes .. and so on. But the question now is not so much what do folks do with PURE Rose Hydrosol as it is what is in that bottle you have. :-( > Kind regards > Jeanine Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
