Preserve Plant Essences
Mission by Angelica 'Pansy' Demeziz
the easiest way to preserve plant essence is to make a jam. There are many possible recipes but it is always interesting to experiment a bit. This is one of my favorite.
Strawberry rose petal jam

- 500g fresh strawberries
- a handful of fresh rose petals (any rose petals are good, but make sure they are not sprayed or growing too close to the road)
