FlowerLantana flowers
 
Rose Hydrosol
• 2 cups+ fresh rose petals
• Plenty of ice
• Two heat-proof bowls
• Purfied water
• Large stock pot with a tight fitting lid
• Fine mesh metal sieve
• Turkey baster
• A sealable container (to store your finished rose water)

Directions
Prepare the petals
Remove the petals from the stems and rinse thoroughly to remove any dirt or bugs.

Prepare the stock pot
Place a small heat-proof bowl in the center of a large pot. Then place another, slightly larger heat-proof bowl on top of the first bowl, making sure that both bowls fit inside the pot with the lid closed with at least 1/2” of space at the top. (Any water and heat-proof object can be used in place of the bottom bowl as long as the top bowl can steadily balance on top of it.)
