how to make gulab jal at home - #23623
I am trying to figure out how to make gulab jal at home because the last time I went to a wedding, they had this amazing rose water that totally elevated the sweet dishes! I thought making it myself would be a fun project, but WOW, it’s not as easy as I thought. I’ve got these beautiful organic roses from my garden, but whenever I try to boil them, all I end up with is a kinda bitter water... not the fragrant stuff I was expecting! Seriously, how to make gulab jal at home without making it taste weird? I read somewhere about using the steam distillation method, but honestly, it sounds complicated and I don’t wanna mess up my kitchen. Like, should I use fresh roses or can I use dried ones? Also, I sometimes feel like I’m doing it all wrong. A friend mentioned adding sugar, but I thought gulab jal should be pure? Any tips on the quantity of water to rose petals or anything? Help! I’m just trying to recreate that wedding magic here!
