How to
make your own Rose Oil
This
Rose Oil is ever so easy to make and it is perfect for scenting your
Pot-Pourri.
A delicious idea we love, is
to use a dash of the rose oil in your
fruit salads, it's gorgeous!
It does
require patience, but it's worth
it.
ingredients
500ml
Light Olive Oil
plenty of scented fresh Rose Petals
method
Place
the Oil into a jar and push as many petals into the oil as you can, be
very, very generous. Place sealed jar in a sunny place for up to a week.
Strain
the oil out of the jar, saving it. Press the petals to remove all the
oil. Then
repeat the whole process, from the beginning using the
strained
oil and fresh rose petals.
Continue in
this manner over
and over, for a good 5 times (5 weeks) depending on the perfume
qualities of your petals. The oil should smell (and taste) very
strongly of roses at the end. Store in an airtight bottle. |
