The rose water recipe:

- 30 drops of cosgard: Optional, necessary if you want to keep your rose water for more than 2 weeks.
Preparation of the recipe :
The day before :
- Put the rose buds or rose petals in a heat-resistant container with a lid, ideally a glass container but make sure it is resistant to boiling water.
- Boil the water and pour it over the rose in the jar. Put the lid on and leave to infuse overnight (ideally 12 hours of infusion).
D-day :
- After 12 hours, the rose will have infused well. Filter the rose water by skimming off the buds then, ideally, filter it again using cotton gauze.
- Pour the rose water into tightly closed sterilized jars and it's ready!
You will thus be able to keep your rose water for about 2 weeks if you keep it out of the sun! Do not hesitate to keep it in the refrigerator so that it is very fresh when applied.
