Easy Homemade Rosewater

This is officially the first recipe we’ve ever published that has no essential oils added to it. That’s odd, right? Let me explain.

Rosewater can be created by drawing the rose essential oil out of rose petals. Use this homemade rosewater in your favorite facial toner, as the base for your makeup remover, or added to your bath for a luxurious spa touch.

The traditional process meticulously extracts rose essential oil from fresh roses and leaves behind a byproduct, rosewater, which is leftover from the steam distillation process.

The rosewater we are creating is much less complicated and more like rose tea, but suitable to replace traditional rosewater.

We use dehydrated organic rose petals [1] (Rosa Damascena, to be precise) and cook them down in water to extract traces of rose essential oil. That’s it.
