    List of Ingredients




    2-3 cups fresh rose petals, and leaves gently washed
    coarse salt, such as kosher or rock salt, as required

    Recipe



    1. Pat dry the rose petals and leaves between a layer of cotton towels or paper towels.

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

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

    4. Repeat until the crock or jar is full.

    5. Cover the container tightly.

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

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

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

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

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