Rose water turning blue can happen when you use dark red rose petals to make it. The natural pigments in the petals can impart a blue hue to the water. This is a normal occurrence and doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong with your rose water.
Here are some potential reasons why your rose water might be blue:
- Dark red rose petals: As mentioned above, dark red rose petals are known to turn the water a bluish color.
- Lemon juice: Adding lemon juice to rose water can sometimes change its color. In some cases, it can make the water turn from blue to a rich red, similar to the color of wine.
If you're concerned about the color of your rose water, you can try these solutions:
- Use lighter rose petals: If you want a paler rose water, try using lighter-colored petals.
- Add a bit of acid: Adding a small amount of lemon juice or another acid can help to neutralize the blue color and make it more pink.
If you're unsure about the safety of your rose water, it's always best to err on the side of caution and discard it.
