How to Make Rose Water at Home
Follow these steps carefully to create the best natural elixir—homemade rose water—in just a few easy steps!
Select your petals: Start by plucking fragrant, pesticide-free rose petals from your home garden or purchasing some from your local florist. These petals will be the heart of your rose water, so choose roses with a strong, pleasant scent for the best results.
Rinse thoroughly: Gently rinse the rose petals under cool running water to remove any dust or debris. Allow them to drain in a colander or on a clean kitchen towel.
Prepare the pot: Place the rose petals in a large pot and add enough distilled water to just cover them. Use a pot with a tight-fitting lid to trap the aromatic steam.
Simmer gently: Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat. The goal is to extract the essence of the petals without boiling them too harshly.
Check the petals: After 20–30 minutes, check the petals. They should have lost their colour, indicating that their essence has infused into the water.
Collect the rose water: Place a heatproof bowl in the centre of the pot. As the steam rises, it will condense on the lid and drip into the bowl—this is your precious rose water! Keeping the bowl cold with ice cubes will encourage better condensation.
Cool and store: Allow the rose water to collect in the bowl, then remove the pot from the heat and carefully lift the lid. Once cooled completely, transfer the rose water to a clean glass container. You can even add a few ice cubes to help preserve its freshness.
Seal and refrigerate: Store the container tightly sealed in the refrigerator to keep your rose water fresh.
Your homemade rose water will keep your skin hydrated and glowing—perfect for the eventful seven days of Valentine’s Week! If stored properly, this DIY rose water can last for up to two weeks.
