Rosewater mists can cost a pretty penny if you buy over the counter, but it is so easy to make your own. Follow easy step-by step on how to make your own rosewater
Ingredients
- Dried rose petals (or fresh from an organic, pesticide-free source)
- distilled/filtered water
- Saucepan with lid
- Cheesecloth
Instructions
- Measure 1/4 cup of dried rose petals into your saucepan. Use 1/2 to 3/4 cup if you are using fresh petals
- Pour 1 1/2 cups water into your saucepan
- Cover and bring to a boil
- Reduce temperature to the lowest setting that still allows the water to simmer
- Simmer until the color of the rose petals has faded. Mine became almost colorless. This only took about 5-10 minutes
- Leave the lid on and cool completely
- Pour water and petals through the nut bag or cheesecloth into a dark, clean bottle. You can use a funnel or strain into a measuring bowl with a pour spout and then pour into your dark bottle
Notes
Note: Store in the refrigerator for several weeks or on the counter for up to one week
