Equipment

Ingredients

3 cups fresh rose petals or dried rose petals
Distilled water
0,5 % Liquid Germall Plus use 0,5 ml for each 100 ml of rose infusion
1 % essential oil rose geranium (around 20 drops for 100ml)

Instructions

If you are collecting fresh rose petals from your own rosebush, let the rose petals rest for 30 minutes to allow insects to leave
Put the rose petals into a pan
Fill the pan with distilled water until the petals are covered
Heat the pan on low heat (~50ºC - 122ºF), keep the water from simmering
Turn off the heat once the petals are discolored, should take around 20 - 30 minutes
Measure the rose water and add your preservative according to instructions. I use Euxyl K940, and usually add 2g of it to around 200 ml
Add the essential oil and mix well, or give it a good shake
Place it in the fridge. It has a shelf life of 3-6 months, but discard it if it starts to smell bad before that.
