Procedure

  1. Fill a jar about one third with dried petals and cover with honey (runny honey penetrates more easily).
  2. Close and macerate 3–4 weeks away from direct sunlight, shaking occasionally.
  3. Strain through cloth; prepare rosehips separately — flowers and hips are not interchangeable.

Notes

Maceration takes weeks; species identification and clean harvest matter.

Why it works

Maceration in honey releases aromatics and part of the polar compounds gradually; the concentration is variable and does not match standardised extracts.
