2οΈβ£ The Distillation Method (Professional & Stronger) π‘οΈβ¨
This method creates pure, concentrated rose water, just like luxury brands.
π Steps:
- Put a small, heat-safe bowl upside down in a pot.
- Scatter your rose petals around it.
- Add distilled water (just enough to cover petals).
- Place another bowl on top of the upside-down bowl β this will collect the distilled rose water.
- Cover the pot upside down with a lid (so the steam drips down into the bowl).
- Let it simmer for 30 minutes.
The result? Premium rose water πΉπ
