How to make Floral Water {DIY}

Swathy · January 13, 2010 · 2 Comments

Floral water is nothing but water of the flowers. Instead of buying rose water or any other essential oil, you can make your own floral water of the flowers you have tended. In this way, you are sure that you are getting pure floral water without any insecticide or pesticides.
Ingredients:
– Flowers / Petals: Rose, Jasmine, Rosemary, Lavender, Chamomile, Marigold, Hibiscus. (either of them or a mix of all or any)
– Boiling water
Method:
Put the petals in a bowl and cover them with boiling water to immerse the petals. Let stand for whole night. Strain and use in the morning. The floral water will stay for a week, if refrigerated.
Do not discard the petals. Use them as part of face packs or put them in bath water. If you do not want to use them, put them in the garden. They will turn into manure.
You can use this floral water for any purpose like putting into bath water, as a hair rinse, to make face packs, to dilute dry scrubs, as a toner, as a face wash, for manicure or pedicure or whatever way you wish to use it.
