Traditional Rose Water Production

The production of rose water in a traditional way is one of the methods that has been common from the past to the present day. This method originated and has been continued. For the first time, Hakim Abu Ali Sina succeeded in producing rose wate.
In this method, a specific amount of rose petals is mixed with a certain amount of water in a copper pot, and a copper lid on it and sealed tightly using chains attached to the pot.

Plastic washers are used between the lid and the pot to prevent steam leakage. There are holes in the lid of the pot through which two aluminum tubes connect the pot to copper-handled jars.

The steam obtained from distilling the contents of the pot is directed through these tubes into the jars inside the copper pot, where it condenses into liquid. The duration of rose water extraction in the traditional method is between 4 to 8 hours, and this process can be repeated four times during a day and requires 90 to 120 kilograms of rose petals per night. Typically, from one kilogram of rose petals, 1.5 liters of rose water is obtained, with the first half liter being very high quality, fragrant, and thick.
