• Add petals to a large pot and top with enough distilled water to just cover (no more or you'll dilute your rosewater).
• over medium-low heat bring the water to a simmer and cover.
• Let simmer for 20-30 minutes or until petals have lost their color and are a pale pink.
• Strain the mixture to separate the petals from the water.
• Discard petals and place water in a glass jar to store.
• Combine all ingredients in spray bottle and shake.
• To apply: spray directly on face or spray a cotton pad and wipe face to remove any residue.

HOW TO MAKE ROSE EXTRACT

Steps:

• Wash the rose petals carefully to get off any critters and dirt. Then dry well.
• Place the petals in a large sterilized glass jar and then pour the vodka over the petals, making sure to completely cover them in the liquid. Then close the jar and store in a dark, cool location, such as a cupboard, for 2-3 days.During this time, the flavor, smell, and even color will leech from the petals into the vodka.
• Sieve the rose vodka mixture to remove the petals and then decant it into sterilized glass jars or even dropper bottles.
