DIY ROSE WATER:

  • 1 cup rose petals (about 2 roses)
  • 2 cups (475 milliliters) distilled water
  • METHOD:
  • Make sure you use fresh roses for best results. Remove the petals and discard the rest of the rose. This will give you enough petals to fill one cup. Add the petals in a sauce pan and add the water. Simmer for twenty minutes.Do not cook on high heat. After 20 minutes the petals will become paler and then you can strain it and put in a jar. Refrigerate it. It will stay fresh for a week.
