Lavender and rosewater liqueur, part 2


After less than a week, I decided that the flowers had steeped enough, so last night I drained the liquor. What I'm left with is some very bland-looking petals (compare to previous post!) and this lovely red-brown-slightly purple tincture. The smell is wonderful. I've left the petals in the jar for now as there's still more liquor to drain out of them, and I didn't want to press them in the strainer.

So far it's a success. At worst, I have a multi-year supply of lavender-rosewater for cooking!

I really want to try a pure lavender version now. I'll have to buy another bottle of vodka.
