Know Your Rose Water And Its Healthy Aspects
February 24, 2009
With the name of rose water, we start thinking about the aesthetic aspects of it. For beautification and cosmetic purpose, rose water is widely used. The rose water we buy from the superstores, are not usually pure. The one we buy are generally synthetic rose oil, mixed with water and preservatives.
However, you should be careful enough and buy the pure rose water.Pure rose water is the distilled water of roses.
Here, I would tell you about how to prepare the pure rose water without any preservatives, so that you will get the real benefit of rose water for your health and beautification as well.
You might have to spend 40 minutes to prepare the rose water. Though the recipe I am going to tell you involves very traditional method, but be sure that you would get wonderful results. As ingredients, you have to take 2-3 quarts of fully fresh roses or their petals. Some ice cubes or crushed ice along with water.
Firstly, take large pot with an inverted and rounded lid. On the centre of the pot, put a fireplace brick. Now, on the top of the brick, place a bowl. Afterwards, put rose petals in the pot as long as the roses touch the top of the brick. Pour water till the level of water reaches top of the brick. Now, you need to cover the lid on the pot, but place the lid upside down.
Next, turn on the stove and let the water reaches its boiling point and then lower the heat. At this time, you need to put some ice cubes on the top of the lid. Now the vapor will condense on the lid with the chilling effect of ice on the top and then will be collected on the bowl, which is your pure rose water.
