- Some ice.
- Ziploc bags.

- 6 cups of distilled water.
- A small spray bottle.

Step 1: Place in a container or a cup that can withstand heat and place it upside down in a pot. Next, place the rose petals around the mug, not on top of the mug. You can also add some herbs of your choice.
.
.
Step 2: Carefully pour distilled water over the petals until the water level reaches a height of about 1 inch below the rim of the container. Place a second bowl in the pot that rests on top of the cup.

Step 3: Place the lid on the pot (upside down, so the lid creates a concave space where you can place the ice cubes). When the steam from the water hits the bottom of the frosted lid, it will create condensation and drip back into the empty container. This is the water of your flower.

Step 4: After your pot has finished simmering, turn off the heat and allow it to cool (with the lid still on). When it has cooled, remove the container and pour into a spray bottle or jar for storage. You can add a couple of drops of rose essential oil. Your rose water spray should last for about six months, and should be kept in a cool, dark place (a refrigerator would be best).
