you can turn this into this
today i want to show you how to make rose waters and the rose water when we say rose
water it might not mean a lot to you but by telling you how this can be done you can
also make thyme oregano water orange blossom water you get the idea of how a rose like this
can turn into water with the great smell the first thing on your mind could be Refika how can we use
rose waters rose water especially from the Ottoman time is used in many of the recipes mostly it was
for desserts there are two very famous desserts one is su muhallebisi water pudding which is
a pudding done with some water sometimes with a bit of milk and starch and then
the rose water with the petals is poured on top and it becomes this gorgeous thing
secondly it's güllaç which is food with rose it's it means it's very thin layers of
rice starch and sometimes nowadays they're using cornstarch unfortunately layers of güllaç wetted
with milk a bit of sugar and rose water so and when it gets really cold you get that milk taste
in your mouth with an incredible niceness of rose and why is rose a bit special when i think about
the rose the first thing that comes to my mind in european tradition is actually American Story do
you remember the film the girl lays in the bed of frozen bed of roses yeah and then Gun's and Roses
rose is different from all the other flowers rose has an incredible a different kind of weight
and this is not a surprise because like the frequency of things are measured and the highest
frequency in the world in anything is rose a dead person has a frequency of 15 i think our
frequency is around 60 70 but i'm i might be wrong i will write the right one here
frequency of canned food is zero very close to zero or the frequency of the rose is 320
and Refika what the hell are you talking about you might ask okay we are with energy and
in some rooms we get in and everyone looks at us we're high in the frequency our energy is high
sometimes we feel invisible from inside and sometimes that inside feeling goes
through outside and we go through and no one looks turns their head and looks at us
so the answer is a nice rose water bath kind of thing it could be when we love
someone we give that person a rose Bahar yeah thank you and to my taurus friend
Akın and the yellow one goes to Ms. Hande yeah and the feeling of the rose really cheers up this is
not a surprise it's kind of magical so coming back to making rose water for example these
roses are i have planted these roses 26 or even longer years ago in my mom's garden
and hoping that if i get married there i'm gonna walk through the patio with rose around
and i thought when i first did that probably i'll get married earlier than they grow up
now they're like huge trees right and i'm single married there i mean this is still a valid dream
okay we can we can party there at least anyways but these beautiful roses which smell
incredible you cannot get really nice rose water from them but these roses for example when you
look at the petals they are not like really intense but when you look at these roses it's
packed with petals and this map is much higher sorry the smell is much higher so these roses
are special roses in Turkey there's a city called Isparta of the most famous poor it's rose probably
in the world i don't know if there's another country if there is please write it down that
is very famous for its rose and rose water anyways so to start now here i have a distillator i had a
one another this later which was especially for getting orange blossom water and rose water out
but i think someone stole it so this this later is also sometimes they make alcohol with this as well
but this is you can easily find it i'll write also at the explanation below i'm going to give some
amazon and different kind of links to where you can find these this lasers so how does this later
work and how from these roses how you can make rose waters now first of all it has three parts
first part is where you put the water and i'm going to put some water here
the second part there are holes here the water will boil and it will start to evaporate
like a crystal machine kind of sort of yes from these holes the water will start to
boil and then it will start to evaporate and from these holes it's going to go up
and we're going to put some rose petals i do not clean the rose i do not wash
it because i want the air to go around and when you wash it some of the oil in the rose
which gives that incredible smell will go away so i put here the roses and then
i'm gonna close it like this here is closed here is closed the water starts to evaporate and it's
gonna go up and it will go through it's gonna heat up because of the steam it's gonna go here
and here there are pipes and the pipe starts to swirl why because it's going to heat up
and i'm going to put some cold water here it will start to precipitate the steam goes here
it takes the essential oil the essential oil starts to also evaporate with the water it goes
down here and then when it really gets hot and when we put the water it starts to get cold and
precipitate and the steam will turn into water and the water is going to drip from here but
because it's really hot like a kettle it's almost like a kettle what i have to do is
from the top i'm gonna put cold water from the bottom i'm going to put the heated water away so
that's how basically it works if i do not put really cold water here the steam goes up it
doesn't precipitate so i lose it to the air so everywhere smells great but i do not get the
extract now i'm gonna turn this on until the water boils we probably have like few minutes
at that time i want to show you this system only there is one pipe here i'm going to put the excess
water here i'm going to use the hose that we use to water the plants but this doesn't fit here so
small practical information how we can extend this here i'm going to
heat up inside like this and use something thick to extend the pose
so small tip practical tip
okay this goes up but the whole pose it's too much so i have to like use tons of water
to decrease that i'm going to have a small tip here is like thumbtacks i are this called tomtex
tic tacs okay i'm gonna close it like this so half of it is closed now together with Burak we have to
find the balance now Burak is gonna put some water first a little more burak now you can reduce it
okay a little more okay until it comes to a balance like a little lower a little lower
a little higher a little higher now when you touch here it's really really hot as you can
see it started to come up the water here should be cold the pipe is gonna eventually be hot
and it's gonna start to drip one by one we shouldn't put something like a big beeper here
the difference with this one and this one is is i said the rose water is going to be like what
gives the incredible smell is essential oils it's very easy to evaporate so if it's open like this
it will start the niceness will start to evaporate and we're gonna lose that beautiful
smell another thing we have to be careful about if i put my fingers here now it's cold
and that is like kind of a balance of how much water gets in and how much water gets
out if quite a lot of water is dripping down if it's less than this and this water heats up
again it doesn't work so that has to be in a perfect balance if this gets hot it starts
to evaporate instead of precipitation it's gonna evaporate and we're gonna have nice smell around
but we don't have good rose water so this is kind of like the balance of how we make rose water
another thing that i like doing i have learned this from my Refika my cousin my aunt's daughter
which we carry the same name because our grandma was same Refika Hanım she learned from a lebanese
friend it's called white coffee and white coffee is you put hot water and you put some
orange blossom water and you drink it and it's great and you can do it with rose water as well
a few drops of rose water and hot water and you drink it you can do it with cold water too it's
all good it kind of like cleanses you from inside another thing that is very widely used is cleaning
the face after you remove the makeup and clean it with a tonic or something the pores are there but
there are still some leftovers and rose water makes an incredible shine it gives you a really
healthy feeling probably increases the frequency of the face i don't know something like that so
this is basically how it is done so that's it guys how do you know whether you have to change roses
great question it's actually from the smell the smell first is very nice rose smell then it starts
to smell like you're not getting a rose water but getting some water out of something green like
grassy smell it it starts to turn like that stop it and i'm going to just i think it's all done now
i get that smell i'm gonna turn it off which i am turning it off and then this is really hot let it
cool down for a few minutes or i can wash it with it one thing i'm going to cool here a bit and then
we turn the water off when it's really hot you cannot take it off now it's still hot be
careful because there's steam inside i'm going to put it to running water here okay actually
this is much easier to do in the garden now i take these roses like this as you can see
these are great for compost but i am sure there must be another way of using them
i really don't know if you have another good idea of how we can use those petals
please write it down i'm thinking maybe can they be used for jam i'm gonna check they will
be able to use for jam i'm also gonna write it for you guys now everything is continued
now everything starts again as you can see we had the church now we have the ezan if you come to
İstanbul and if you come to where we live we're in Kuzguncuk is famous for its multi-religious
background a century ago here we have a church a synagogue and a mosque almost sharing a garden i
believe it's closer than the walls in jerusalem so you get an incredible kindness that existed once
and also us if you visit we'll be really really happy now same thing again where we're going
to continue doing this until we finish all the roses i have one question how do i keep
this in the fridge how long how do we keep this for example let me this is almost done
put a new one it's very important to close the lid and we have to keep this on somewhere which
is cool and which doesn't get direct sunlight because sunlight makes it work and for example
what i do i have one from my dearest aunt Emine Teyze which she did probably five six years ago
it's in the fridge and it still smells beautiful i just when i miss her i take it off and have a sip
of smell and i remember her and close it and put back in the refrigerator so keep the lid closed
and if you keep it in the refrigerator it's gonna go for really long and one more question
yes what's that big thing behind you what is this big thing behind me this is i'm going to show you
from the side as well this is as i said Isparta is very famous for its rose water the city and this
is an ancient distillator from Isparta and how it works in here what we did is we put the petals
inside here we didn't put it in the water but when it's like huge it sometimes is not so possible to
do that so what they do they put water here and also the roses here and it goes up and i
am going to show you the inside like this water comes and evaporates and comes to the top like
that and the top is cooled through water from somewhere and the top gets cooled down and what
happens is it starts to precipitate and when it starts to precipitate it slides to here and when
it slides to here as you can see there is like a small valley here and the precipitated water
gets collected here and then it starts to ship drip okay so it's this is how it works
and this is how we do it this is how they used to do it so if you come to İstanbul and with us she's
going to be with us in the building and you can touch that so this is it and hope you enjoyed this
