Re: Best Preservative for this Recipe?

[Guest guest]

Rochelle,

Hi. Thanks, yes I have phenonip. Ok, I know I'm going

to sound really dumb now...but how do I figure out how

much is 1% of the total weight? Lets say I end up with

4 oz of something, how much would 1% be and how do I

figure it out? (ok, you can tell I paid attenetion in

math!)

Thanks everyone,

Amber

That it's just tap water with rose oil in it?

Rosewater is made by infusing roses into water, whether it's tap water,

distilled water etc. I tried to make it once and it didn't come out as

well at I would have liked it to. The recipe I have to make it is:

Place 1 cup of rose petals in a glass bowl, cover with 2 cups of boiling

water. let the flowers steep for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain and place into

bottles. HTH!

Ok, here I go with another embarassing question =)

Ok, if my recipe is for 5 oz...and 5 x .01= .05, does tequal to 1/2

oz of the phenonip? Or am I doing this wrong...

Thanks,

Amber

Hi Amber,

To figure out what 1% of 4 is multipy 4 x .01, if you want to know what 10%

of 4 is multiply 4 x .1.

Hope this helps

This would be .05 of an ounce or 1/20 of an ounce. 1/2 ounce would be .5

Cool! I will have to try that next time. Sounds a lot less " stressful " on

the essential oils. Thanks!

12 ml would be 10% not 1 % of 120ml.
