Rosewater may be used in the bath (about 1 cup), hot tub or as a splash after bathing or showering. Floral waters tone and clear the skin, act as hydrating agents and help to normalize the acid balance of the skin

2 cups distilled water
1/4 cup vodka
1/2 cup chemical-free red rose petals (because red looks best!)
15 drops rose oil (optional if scent from petals isn't strong enough)

Combine all ingredients in a large jar with a lid. Close the jar and let the mixture steep for 1 week, shake daily. Strain and discard the herbs and bottle the lotion for use or gifts.
