Recipes
Rose petal Vinegar
Ingredients
4 cups white vinegar
2 cups red rose petals
Preparation
Heat vinegar to boiling and remove from heat. Pour into a glass jar with a lid and add rose petals. Put on lid and place in a dark, cool spot for a week.
Strain out petals and pour into decorative bottles.
Delicious on fruit salad or piquant green salad with a little light flavored oil. Also makes a great after-shampoo rinse or addition to the bath!
