I am pretty sure, you all must be using Rose water in your daily life.It has numerous benefits and the lovely fragrance of roses.Important thing to remember is, it works best when it is pure.So, how about making your own rosewater at home. Yeh!! you heard it right, we are going to prepare it at our own pace.So, lets get started..

1. Collect fresh rose flowers. Make sure the rose petals you are using do not contain any kind of pesticides or chemicals. Also try to pick roses two to three hours after sunrise when the morning dew has evaporated.
   
2. Pluck the petals carefully and collect them in a container. The stem and leaves should not be used at all.
3. Now wash the rose petal thoroughly to remove bugs and dirt particles.
4. Place the freshly washed rose petals in a large pot containing distilled water. The water should be just enough to cover the petals. Too much water will give you much diluted rose water.
5. Now cover the pot properly with a lid and allow it to simmer on a low flame for about 40 minutes. Allow the water to steam until the petals have lost their color and the water has taken on the color of the rose petals. After some time you can notice rose oil floating on the surface.
   
6. Finally strain the water and collect it in an air tight container. Store it in a refrigerator and use it whenever you need it.

With this simple method, you can easily make rose water at home. Once you have the rose water, you can use it the way you want to without any fear or worry.
