Add enough water to the pot to just cover the petals, but be sure not to add too much water.
Use low-medium heat to gradually heat the water and petals
Bring the water to a simmer and hold there for 20-30 minutes.
Wait for the petals to lose most of their color and become a pale pink/white.
Remove from heat and strain out the petals.
Store the rose water in a jar or spray bottle, away from direct sunlight.
Notes
You canĀ use a spray bottle or a cotton pad to apply rose water to your face. It can be used for various purposes such as cleaning make-up and in perfumes and skin toners.
