Well, isn't it a miracle?

What can be done from rose petals at home, if religion, a sense of beauty and an inner toad do not allow you to part with them amicably and determine their next (after your apartment) place of residence is the nearest trash can? This question overcomes me at least five times a year) ... My inner esthete and external amateur florist sheds tears when he sees unfortunate lifeless plants sticking out of a garbage can forlornly. And every time I think about these unfortunate rose petals - what can be done with them? ... I will cover our bed with white rose petals ... take a bath with petals and drink a cup of coffee ... no! Every time I use rose petals as a hydrosol, i.e. rose water (in our opinion). It turns out a 100% natural, organic, plant-based tonic that cares for the face like any store-bought tonic ...

1. So, we take a patient who is more dead than alive, and treacherously rip off his former beauty. At the exit we get a slide of petals. You see in my slide not only rose petals, but also orange peel, I explain how it got there: orange, aka citrus, aka vitamin C, is a wonderful natural preservative that will help our hydrosol not go dry. No, this does not mean that without an orange, the hydrolate will immediately disappear! He will live and feel great, but I still play it safe.


2. We take a pan, a sieve (colander), a lid and a bowl. In my case, this is: a steamer system from a pot, a colander to the size of the pan and a lid. This is a kit that was sold right out of the box, if you don’t have such extremely hydrolate beauty, you can safely replace the whole thing with a regular pan with a colander.


3. We put a bowl in the center of the colander and fall asleep petals around it.


4. Pour water into the main pan, about one third. It is better to take clean, bottled or spring, but for everyone who does not have one, I, from the breadth of my soul, allow me to take the usual boiled one and not bathe. Sobsno, I did it)))

5. We assemble the shaitan - the car - the hydrolatogonal apparatus, which in my case, the assembly looks like this:

6. Take the lid and turn it upside down! This is necessary so that the condensate that collects on the lid flows exactly into your bowl, and does not make confusion and stagger along the walls of the pan.


7. We put the shaitan apparatus on fire, turn on the smallest gas (or set the minimum on the electric stove) and forget about the magical brew for three hours.

8. After three hours, we remember about the pan, turn off the fire and disassemble the structure. At the exit in a bowl we get the purest rose hydrosol, transparent, like a tear of a jellyfish ...


9 ... pour the precious liquid into a convenient container. I pour it into this bottle from under Morningstar Minerals, Skin Energy, Repair Spray, 8 fl oz
The sprayer is just WOW! He is incomparable! I don't know how they did it, but it sprays liquid nicely, doesn't spit, doesn't clog. It’s worth buying even just for the sake of the atomizer))) By the way, this tonic is beautiful in itself, you can read the review here: link to the post

10. And what remains at the bottom of the pan can be poured out, but I know that many people use this liquid too. I don’t know if it’s necessary to do this ... It looks like this:


And that's it! Nothing complicated) We use hydrolate as a tonic and are glad that we did not throw out rose petals in vain. By the way, when the brew is boiling, the house is filled with the intoxicating sweet aroma of the Garden of Eden) And it lasts for quite a long time. The hydrolate does not have such a strong aroma, but the rose is still quite distinctly felt. This is not the first time I have been making hydrosol with my own hands, I can say that the effect of it is impressive: it perfectly soothes the skin, does not irritate, evens out the tone, and has a barely noticeable lifting effect. Doesn't do wonders for wrinkles. But still, I really like the result. If you have a couple of minutes of free time and a bunch of roses, I recommend experimenting)
