Exotic Orange Blossom Water And Rose Water - Make Your Own!

• rose petal (From scented roses, red and pink are best)
• orange, blossoms
• distilled water

1. How to go about making your delicious Rose and Orange Blossom water:
2. Pick your petals and blossom early in the morning, ideally those which have been grown completely organically.
3. Rinse the petals and blossom carefully in cold water, taking care to remove all dirt and any pesky insects.
4. Crush the petals or blossom with a mortar and pestle, and leave them to rest for a few hours, place them in a jar with some distilled water - don't go overboard with the water as you can always add more later.
5. Leave the jar, with the lid on, in the sun for a couple of weeks, and check the scent. If it is too weak, continue to leave in the sun for another week or so.
6. Experiment with the quantities of water and petals to see what works for your water, and voila, you will be known as a culinary genius. Good luck and happy cooking!
