What I do with Roses....

Since I have a lot of roses around me I make use of the rose petals... Very colour have a different smell and puts you in a different mood.
I started to make rose jam, rose balm, rose juice, and even I started to make rose vino ( experiment still working...), bath with roses, of course rose water and rose vinegar.


My simple way to make rose water!

Step one: Pick your rose petals and place them in a bowl. You can make different colour rose water. So if you want it pink, use pink roses, you want it red - red roses etc.... I love to mix it up.

Step two: Boil some water and pour it over the rose petals. Make sure all petals are fully covered. 

Step three: Let it cool down and all you have to do now is drain the roses and pour the rose water in a bottle. I keep it  refrigerated.

E Voilà- Rose Water, perfect for cooking, baking or your daily face wash!  

Try it!

What I did today...

I made some cheese and after that it was time for my beauty experiments....

Creepy......!!!!!

I try a rosemary rose oil,  lip balm ( you can use it as a hand cream, too)

What you need :

in olive oil  

You need to soke the rose petals in oil for a few days 

It can be a mess when you need to take it out !!!

And now: press the oil out of the roses!!!

Put the oil in a pan and heat it up

Now it's time to kick the rosemary in. 

A few leaves are just right.

Stir, stir stir...

That's for the oil! 

Now if you want lip balm or hand cream you add just a bit of beeswax

You do not need to use a lot. I have a block like that and I used just one corner.
