    Recipe Introduction


    Attar of roses means
    the volatile oil contained
    inside the fresh petals.
    It is used in making rose
    water and scented perfumes.
    Use only fresh petals that have
    been picked in the morning
    after the dew has evaporated
    but before the strong afternoon
    sun has warmed them.

    List of Ingredients




    3 cups fresh rose petals,
    and leaves gently washed
    and air dried.

    coarse salt,
    such as kosher or sea salt
    amount? as needed.


    Recipe



    1. Place a layer of dry petals
    inside a clean ceramic crock
    or dark-coloured glass jar.

    2. Over each layer, sprinkle a thin
    covering of salt.

    3. Repeat until the crock
    or jar is full.

    4. Cover the container tightly.

    5. Place in a cool and dark place
    for 3-6 weeks.

    6. The salt extracts the moisture
    from the petals and leaves, which
    should collect in the bottom of your jar.

    7. Strain the liquid through
    a coffee filter or several layers
    of cheesecloth.

    8. This is the wonderful scented
    attar of roses for you.

    9. To make fresh rose water,
    add a drop or two of this oil to
    1 cup of distilled water.

    10. ENJOY!
