  1. I have heard that laying a bunch of the scented petals on a layer of fat (skimmed pure lard) will work very well to absorb the essence. Then you disolve this fat in alchohol for use.

  2. Try a low simmer for a short while. Then let it cool in the pot. Then see if the oils don’t rise to the top. Separating can be tricky so most home made stuff tends to be watery. But there are better instructions on the web. I’ll see if I can get some for you.
