candles-and-tarot:❤️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!) -- source link
