Reasons to use hydrosols in the kitchen

Hydrolats, also known as floral waters, emerge from the process of distilling plants, herbs or flowers to extract their essential oils. This distillation causes part of the plant's water to mix with the essential oil, giving rise to the hydrolat. Hydrolats have long made a name for themselves in the kitchen, thanks to their delicate flavors and aromatic properties.

Here's why they're earning their place in the culinary arts:

An alternative to essential oils: powerful and concentrated, they require careful use in the kitchen.

Hydrolats, with their lighter concentration of essential oils, offer a gentler, more balanced alternative.

Subtle taste: floral waters subtly infuse dishes, adding a touch of aroma without overpowering them.

They can be used to enhance drinks, desserts, sauces, creams, salads and other preparations, adding freshness and originality.

Creative versatility: Hydrosols lend themselves to a multitude of uses, integrating into various recipes to infuse unique fragrances. For example, rose hydrosol can enhance desserts, peppermint hydrosol enrich drinks, and so on.

Beneficial properties: Some hydrolats, particularly those derived from medicinal plants, may contain health benefits such as soothing, digestive (peppermint) or refreshing (rosewater) properties.
