Rose Essence

Name: Rose Essence
Ingredients: 1 pint High-proof neutral grain spirit (like Everclear) or Vodka (Originally 'rectified spirits of wine'. Use food-grade high-proof alcohol (190 proof is ideal for dissolving oils).); 30 drops Rose attar (food-grade essential oil) (Ensure the oil is 100% pure and safe for consumption.)

This potent homemade rose essence captures the intense floral fragrance of pure rose attar suspended in high-proof spirits. Unlike mild rose water, this concentrated extract rivals the strength of almond extract and delivers a powerful aromatic punch with just a few drops. It serves as an excellent flavoring agent for sweets, pastries, and beverages where a distinct and elegant rose profile is desired.
