Steps
-
Pick fresh roses, remove the flower stems and stamens, clean them, and dry the water droplets on the petals.
-
Pick fresh roses, remove the pedicles and stamens, and clean them.
-
Let the water drops on the petals dry.
-
Clean the container holding roses without any oil. Place a layer of rose petals and a layer of white sugar in the container. The ratio of roses to white sugar is 1:1.
-
Leave it for 2 to 3 days until the sugar is completely melted and stir evenly.
-
After bottling, clean the bottle and dry it to ensure that there is no oil or water in the bottle. When bottling, the roses can only occupy two-thirds of the bottle, leaving one-third. Otherwise, when the weather gets hot, the rose petals will ferment and swell, and the rose juice will overflow, which is a pity. Let it sit for several months to become rose candy.
