There are several methods for making rosewater, but the most common method involves using steam distillation. To make rosewater using steam distillation, fresh rose petals are placed in a distillation still with pure water. The mixture is then heated, allowing the steam to pass through the rose petals and extract their essential oils. The steam is then cooled and condensed, resulting in a fragrant liquid that is rosewater. Another method for making rosewater involves simmering rose petals in water on the stovetop and then straining the liquid to remove the petals. While this method may be simpler, it may not produce as concentrated of a rosewater as steam distillation.
