The Steps of Artisanal Alchemy: Crafting Steam Distilled Rose Water
Filling the Still
The Deg, or still, is carefully filled with fresh rose petals – the heart and soul of steam distilled rose water. Pure water is added to create the perfect environment for distillation.
Sealing Secrets
The Sarpos, or lid, is sealed using a blend of cotton and clay. This ensures that no aroma escapes, preserving the essence of the roses.
Igniting the Flame
The Bhatti, a traditional furnace, is lit using wood or cow-dung cakes. The temperature is carefully controlled, as even the slightest variation can affect the quality of the steam distilled rose water.
Guardian of Boiling Beauty
A leaf spring called Komoni holds the lid in place, ensuring it doesn’t shift during the intense heat of boiling.
Cooling Symphony
The Gachchi, a cooling water tank, circulates water to keep the Bhapka, or receiver, cool. This is where the magic happens – the steam condenses into liquid, forming steam distilled rose water.
Attaining Perfumed Nectar
As the vapors condense, Dighoo wraps the Deg with a damp cloth to maintain the perfect temperature. The Bhapka collects the precious liquid, capturing the essence of the roses.
Separation of Essence
The mixture of rose oil and water is carefully separated. The water, now infused with the essence of roses, becomes steam distilled rose water.
Second Chances
If the distillation isn’t perfect, the process is repeated. This ensures that every drop of steam distilled rose water meets the highest standards.
Nature's Reunion
The water is returned to the Deg, and the attar (rose oil) is collected for further use.
Into the Kuppi
The final product is stored in a Kuppi, a traditional leather vessel, to preserve its purity and aroma.
