-
Let the flower petals soak in the water throughout the night.

Remove the lid of the bowl the next day. Then fold the four corners of the cheesecloth carefully to lift the pouch of the bowl along with flower petals and water inside it.
-
Rinse the cheesecloth softly over a saucepan to extract the aroma-filled water.

Boil the water at a lower heat to make it around 1 tablespoon of liquid.
