Step 5 to Make Rose Water at Home 

The liquid smells heavenly but to preserve it longer use any essential oil. Add a few drops of any essential oil like I used lavender oil as per my desire. You may use rose oil for rose like aroma. Your rose water is ready. Store it in a spray bottle and spray it whenever required.

Things to Remember

• Do not use boiling hot water or boil the petals directly on the flame. This will take away the sweet aroma of roses.
• One can also leave the mixture of petals and water lesser than 24 hours but the longer it is kept the better it is.
• You may preserve it in the refrigerator and use as required. Discard it in a month or less once it starts smelling weird.
