The range of application of rose petals is wide enough, ranging from culinary delights and healing to body care. Due to the unique composition of essential rose oil, the rose has long been called the "Queen of the Flowers."
Roses are able to please others with their splendor and give them a lot of positive emotions. Is it not good for the body ?! Not without reason in Japanese schools there is even a lesson reserved specifically for the contemplation of the beautiful. But these flowers can be beneficial after their withering.
Flower cooking
It is unlikely that anyone would think of buying a bouquet of roses for the purpose of cooking jam. However, if the region of residence allows you to grow rose bushes on your personal plot, then you definitely need to use this and make fragrant jam from rose petals. Since roses do not bloom all at the same time, in order to collect 300-400 grams of petals at once, you need to have 10 bushes.
Petals gather at the moment when the rose has completely opened and is about to crumble. Do not violate the beauty of the buds, which have yet to please the eye of the household. Pink petals will not give juice on their own if they are simply filled with sugar, so they are either rubbed with it and citric acid, or syrup is prepared. Washed petals are poured into syrup and boiled over low heat for 15-20 minutes.
You can dry the petals and add to the kettle with the next brewing of traditional tea. Lovers of liquor prefer to cook it on the basis of pink petals, and then add a spoon in tea or pastries. To do this, you need 1 kg of petals, 1 liter of vodka, 2 kg of sugar and 800 ml of water. First, the petals are infused for 3 days in vodka, which is filtered and combined with syrup. The color of the liquor depends on the variety of roses, so sometimes it is tinted with food coloring.
Pink pharmacy in the garden
With fresh rose petals on hand, you can make rose oil. To do this, the glass container is filled to capacity with petals and filled with olive oil. When, under the action of the oil, the petals of the red rose become completely white, the oil is squeezed out and the next portion of the petals is laid in it. It is believed that quality rose oil should be infused at least 7 times.
Rose oil has a beneficial effect on the activity of the gastrointestinal tract, relieves inflammation, and improves sleep. They can treat a non-healing wound for a long time, attach it to a diseased tooth or an inflamed gum. The wound healing effect of the oil is given by rose essential oil and a special composition of trace elements.
