❤️I’m obsessed with rose water, I recently started using it all the time. In baths, in tea, in spells, etc. So I decided instead of spending more to buy small bottles in store I’d just make my own, if you’ve never done this let me learn you a thing!
What you need:
🌹Roses (duh right)
🌹Distilled water
🌹Strainer
🌹Storage container for your water
🌹Something to do for 20 minutes
•So, get your roses off the stem and pull those petals apart! Make sure you rinse them in lukewarm water to get any gunk off!
•After your petals are rinsed, toss them into your pot and fill it with just enough distilled water to cover the petals!
•Turn the heat up and let those babies simmer for about 20 minutes. (I did the dishes while I waited, but you do you).
•When the petals look lighter pink and flimsy you’re just about done! Let it cool or keep it hot, either way it’s time to strain them!
•Strain right into container or glass bowl to let cool.
•Enjoy your rose water!
(I got the roses for $8 on Valentines Day clearance – with some discount chocolate because why not – and I used 6 of them to make my water!) (DISCLAIMER: If you ARENT using organic roses it’s not recommended that you ingest or use this on your skin- use organic roses to make that water. This stuff is great for spells though!)
Note: This distillation process creates a product called hydrosol. Hydrosol can be made with any plants, fresh or dried. Some other useful magical hydrosols can be made from rosemary, bay leaf, chamomile, lavender, thyme, or sage, to name just a few! Follow essential oil safety as a guide for hydrosol use!
1. I took the petals of four roses and placed them in a large pot. Put enough distilled water to cover the roses, not much more as to not dilute the water.
2. Heat to a simmer on a medium/low heat. Cover and let simmer for 20-30 minutes until the petals are pinkish.
3. Strain into another pot, let it cool before putting it in a jar or container to store.
Bonus: To make some facial mist I put 1tbs of the rosewater into a 2oz spray bottle and fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water.
Rose water has many magical properties, The most common being for Love, And attraction spells. But different colored roses have different uses.

What you will need
Rubbing Alcohol, Or 100 proof Vodka
Clean glass Mason Jar
Rose Petals
Rose Oil (For added scent) (Optional)
Fill your clean Mason Jar about ¼ of the way with Rose Petals. (Measurements do not have to be exact) And top that off with 2/4 of your alcohol solution. Leave room for your Rose Water to move around.
Let it sit for 2-5 days (Depending on how rich you want the color to be)
