Method:
- Heat the Stage 1 (fat stage) ingredients in a double boiler until they reach a temperature above 75°C. Weigh the spring water and rose water and boil them in a kettle.
- Weigh the MF Emulsifier and Glycerin in a bowl and add the boiling waters. Mix together then swap the bowls over on the double boiler. This is the Stage 2 (water stage).
- Pour the Stage 1 into the Stage 2 while continuously whisking the mixture with a flat whisk. Ensure the temperature stays above 75°C and mix for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes of stirring, remove from the heat and cool the bowl quickly in a cold water bath whilst stirring all the time. It will continue to thicken until it reaches room temperature.
- When the temperature is below 40°C, remove the bowl from the cold water bath and add in the Stage 3 (cool stage) ingredients. Blend thoroughly, jar and label.
