How to get Kashan rose water

The process of extracting medicinal herbs relies on distillation. Distillation is one of the simplest methods of extracting essential oils and plant extracts. Humans have been doing distillation traditionally for more than a thousand years. Even today, modern factories with advanced devices use the same distillation method to extract the extract. Distillation means the evaporation of a liquid and its subsequent condensation.

The method of making rose water is that first the buds are mixed with water and it is brought to the boiling point and evaporated. The emitted steam, which is a combination of water and rose extract, cools and condenses during a process and becomes flower and water extract, or rose water.

The steps of extracting rose water with a traditional rose extract machine
The rose water machine has a simple structure; But getting rose water with it requires a lot of experience.

Steam boiler: copper steam boiler with a certain volumetric capacity (usually between 100 and 180 liters) is the most important part of the glab machine.

Taghar: a copper cover that is placed on the pot. Basically, a weight is placed on this cap to control the pressure caused by the steam.

Stove: There is a stove under the pot to bring the contents of the pot to the boiling point and evaporate.

Pitcher: A copper container with a capacity between 30 and 40 liters that is placed in a flowing water basin. The pitcher has the task of cooling the steam and turning it into rose water.

Transfer pipes: Usually, one or two pairs of aluminum pipes are connected from the pot to the pitcher, which is a conduit for transferring steam to the pitcher. These pipes must be well sealed between the pot and the pitcher so that steam does not leak from them.

There is no device called a condenser in the traditional glab giri process. In fact, the basin in which the pitcher is located plays the role of a condenser that turns steam into a liquid with condensation. So the water in the pond must be flowing. Due to the high temperature of the steam, the stagnant water heats up over time and prevents condensation.

 

The ratio of water to flower in gulab giri

To prepare premium rose water, usually between 35 and 40 kg of roses are poured into the pot for every 80 liters of water. One liter of high quality rose water or one and a half liters of normal rose water can be obtained from each kilogram of roses.
