Instructions:
1. Prepare the Rose Petals - Use only fragrant, unsprayed rose petals that have not been treated with pesticides. Remove any white or damaged parts at the base of the petals. Rinse well under cold water and gently pat dry.
2. Simmer the Petals - Place the rose petals in a saucepan and pour the 480ml of distilled water over them. The water should just cover the petals. Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat. Do not boil. Cover with a lid and simmer on the lowest heat for 20 minutes until the petals have lost most of their color and the water has taken on a soft pink hue.
3. Cool and Strain - Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a sterilized glass jar or bottle, pressing the petals gently to extract all the liquid. Discard the spent petals.
4. Transfer and Store - Using a funnel if needed, pour the rose water into a sterilized glass jar or bottle and seal tightly. Label with the date.
