This is my favorite recipe for rose-water by the master herbalist Rosemary Gladstar

Rose Water

Ingredients

• 3 parts which hazel extract

• 1 part distilled water

• fresh organically grown rose petals

Directions

Mix the witch hazel extract with the distilled water.  Place the fresh roses in a quart jar.

Completely cover the roses with the witch hazel/water mixture, adding enough extra mixture to cover the petals 2 to 3 inches above.

Cover tightly and place in a warm shaded area.

Let the mixture sit for 2 to 3 weeks.

Strain out the roses and rebottle the water for use.
