Rhubarb hydrosol
Rhubarb hydrosol: spring fragrance in bottles
Fresh. Fruity. Invigorating.
Rhubarb—the favorite spring vegetable—isn't just great for compotes or cakes. Did you know that the stalks can be used to make a refreshing hydrosol ?
It has a slightly tart, green, and lemony scent—perfect for natural cosmetics, as a room fragrance, or as a refreshing body spray! The tart, fresh scent of rhubarb is one of nature's most extraordinary fragrances—green, clear, and delicately tart. Especially in spring, when the rhubarb plants are at their full potential, the stalks are not only a culinary delight, but also rich in plant-based active ingredients and natural freshness.
Rhubarb is more than just a seasonal garden vegetable – in the form of a home-distilled hydrosol, it becomes a multifunctional all-rounder for body, mind and home.
With the @DiFUMA distillation system and your kitchen appliance such as the Thermomix® , Monsieur Cuisine® or Bosch Cookit® you can easily capture and enjoy this spring-like scent yourself.
Use of rhubarb hydrolate
Immerse yourself in the green and fresh world of rhubarb hydrosol and discover how it can give you new freshness in many ways:
✨ As an invigorating facial toner – especially for impure or stressed skin, it has a calming, toning and pore-refining effect.
🌸 As a natural body spray , its tangy, bitter scent immediately reminds you of a walk through the spring garden.
🍹 In drinks – a few splashes in a glass of mineral water with ice and mint provide a surprisingly refreshing accent.
🌬️ As a fine room fragrance or linen spray that brings a gentle freshness into your home without being intrusive.
1. 1 liter of water in the mixing bowl of the Thermomix Ò or Monsieur Cuisine Ò and Bosch Cookit Ò give.
- Fill the rhubarb pieces loosely into the steamer basket (max. ¾ full). The pieces should not be too tightly packed. Recommendation: Use (organic) rhubarb or rhubarb from your own garden.
3. It is important that the cooking basket is well filled but loose to ensure that the steam can penetrate well through the thinly sliced rhubarb pieces and optimally extract the essential oils.
4. Put the lid on with the still (@DiFUMA) and start as per the instructions, depending on which food processor you have.
Example:
Thermomix®: 45 min. | Varoma® | Level 1,
Monsieur Cuisine®: 45 min. | Steam cooking | Level 1,
Bosch Cookit®: 45 min | 130 °C | Level 1
5. After 10-15 minutes, the hydrosol will drip into the collection container. Collect it in a clean, sterile container. Once cooled, pour it into a spray bottle.
A notice:
-The spray bottle should be shaken vigorously before use so that the oils mix with the water.
-Hydrolats should always be stored in a cool and dark place.
