How to Make your Own Rosewater in Concentrated Recipe

I remember while growing up, our front porch was filled with brilliant blooms of rose shrubs. I guess this childhood recollection cause me to feel passionate about the DIY rose water skin toner.

It is nostalgically sweet reminiscing over the past events of your life, isn’t it? But the reason why you must be thrilled about it, other than the reality that the scent is fantastic; it is equally, all-natural and gentle, ideal for practically every type of skin above all, it won’t deplete your wallet. For those feeling their skin is under the weather, or perhaps moderately dry due to extended exposure to the elements, this does-it-yourself toner could be the perfect solution to your dehydrated skin back to life.

How to Make your Own Rosewater

Things you need:

  • two cupfuls of distilled water
  • one cup of petals ( fresh roses)
  • one spray container

Directions:

  • Put the rose petals inside a deep cooking pot or a saucepan, open a little room in the middle so you can put a little ceramic bowl (add some weight in the bowl to prevent from moving around when the water starts to simmer). Then, you can add another bowl over it, this bowl will collect the rosewater you’ll going to make.
  • Now, you can add the water to cover up all the rose petals and over medium heat, bring the water to a simmer and as soon as the rose petals will look discolored, you are ready to put the lid on your pan.
  • The lid will trap all the steam inside the pan, to exaggerate the condensation process, add some ice cubes on top of the lid. The ice cubes will simmer more steam inside the pan; the steam will condensate and it drips right back on in the middle of the bowl.
  • Repeat the ice cube process for about 15 minutes, by adding more ice cubes on the process as it melts.
  • The result is pure-made rosewater by condensation, which is more strong or potent than by boiling down the rose petals.
  • Let the mixture cool down and transfer to a glass container, this mixture can last for a year.
