What Is Rose Water Good For? 12 Benefits of Rose Water

Tips for making rose water

While steam distillation can sound complex, it's really a simple process that you can do in your own kitchen with pots and bowls that you already have. First, you place a small trivet into a stock pot, and place a heat-proof bowl on the trivet. Next, line the bottom of the pot with roses and cover them with water. Place a lid upside down on the pot, and fill it with ice, then bring the contents of the pot to a boil. As the water boils, the roses will infuse the steam with their aroma. The steam then rises and once it hits the cold lid, it will condense and drip into the bowl you've set inside the pot. While the process is simple, there are a few things to keep in mind when you make rose water.
